>>About COMS, very disappointed about prospects for the remainder
of 1998.<<

Moons,

If COMS makeS next earnings report, economy still buzzing
in 2nd 1/2 of '98, telecom companies start buzzing some
more, Europe and Latin America show future growth potential
offsetting E.Asia...if these things happen, I think we have
decent chance to see COMS at 40-50. That would
be OK considering all we've gone through in the mean time.
Do you see it this way at all?

joe

I can live with a "nickle machine"...<As 3COM continues to be low-cost commodity company, they will become
the Wall-Mart of Internet Equipment providers. > Nice summation.
Thanks...Walt.

Yesterday afternoon I marked down Stratus in my watch list as a potential buy for a takeover play. However, I never even considered Ascend as a buyer. Strange move.

Walmart is a distributor like CompUSA, Fry's etc. The best hope is for coms to dump its low margin commodity business ( NICs, modems ) and the subseqent P/E expansion based on steadily higher earings would easily double the prcie of its equity to 50.
