craig, nice to see you here. i am too busy to read the SI threads
except after work hours. Usually I only scan through useful news
and skip most of the panics or overly excite comments for a few
points drop or up. I have read most of your comments thought they
are very insight.

About pair, i bought it at 17 3/4 thought this is the level that
I made money twice. Though it's down to 13, I still believe
that i could make at least even; otherwise, I could have sold it
for loss if I loss faith in it like I did in Quantum last Oct 97.
Same with COMS.

I used to in and out PAIR since it was 40 and loss money only
once not include this time because i dont sell it yet, right?

I speculate pair because i thought the worse that pair could go
is 15 based on its strong balance sheet and cash flow. I has
strong growth records though it has been flat this year.
that's why you get what you are paying for right?

The reason I keep it because of its promising adsl falcon chip
and NT and Rockwell have used its adsl chip. I also speculate
that PAIR could be bought by one of them (just guessing).
Also, PAIR is not exposed much to ASIA like the semi/semi-equi group.

Now, you ask me time to think about buying?
at $13 level, i think the downsize risk is low. however, i bought
pair (like coms) based on price, not for performance, and for
a turnaround situation.

Fortunately that i got bay at 23 and sold at 31 few day ago.
now, what do you think about pair?

What's the scoop with PAIR? Down 50% in a 3 months? Pairgain used to be a cult stock
on SI, I heard people talking about it wherever I went. I remember all the A$ND bulls
hyping it up at 28. Now it seems like most people have forgotten about it or left it for
dead.

Time to think about buying?


Craig,

I have 20 in the money naked puts for PAIR. I better do my homework in a hurry to see if I want assignment or to close.
