Hey, you just want somebody else to do your research for you. I believe in sharing the work. If you want to know what I think of COMS, all you have to do is go into my profile, and read a bunch of them. Just to get you started....I'll poke at a few of your questions: 1) Some of your questions are difficult for anybody to answer and lots of people are speculating, more reason to do some research. Try to dig up the facts about each company.... ADTC - don't know anything about them. CS - is this something to buy based on a Nortel bid? Possibly. I watch COMS mostly so don't know exact details on others. Nortel just bought Bay. Maybe it's still hungry? Well, look at their market caps, and get an idea if it's at least doable. How much does CS overlap with Bay - this is an interesting question? Maybe you could tell me the answer. NN & COMS: I know something about these since COMS has an alliance with NN. I think NN is more on the telco side, but not very big compared to LU and NT (I could be wrong on this). ATM does seem to be the protocol of the future for "convergence". I'm not sure if it's written in stone yet. To know about NN -- go ask Pat Mudge on the NN thread. She's an encyclopedia of info on NN, and she'll probably say yes, buy NN since its pretty cheap like COMS. COMS - last I heard on this thread, it was up in overnight trading - I never put any weight on overnight trading. Today it flew up and closed at it's day high... I hope you at least know that. (Not sure why you say it's down, unless your talking of a few weeks to a month period recently) How will COMS open up? Nobody knows the answers to things like that. Especially on expiration friday. If you want my opinion, buy some here and there, buy on the dips if you can - COMS has lots of dips - and remember that earnings report is mid next week. With the merger speculation, it makes it hard to know exactly what to do. My opinion is COMS is a steal under $30. Others will tell you that COMS is not worth more than a roll of toilet paper.--- there a balanced viewpoint.
