mang, coms will come back. it will take 2 quarters to get back credibilty with wall street. its no fun what eric has done, mismanaged stuff after touting the usrx merger. last year it was the same gloom and doom, and it did take 2 qauters to get back to 40-45 after the intel price cut. coms failed at executing a merger. so did ascend. unfortunately i am in coms from jan of 97 at 70, and in ascend old cscc from last year at 52. both ways i got creamed. the point is that ascend has recovered & now with the stratus issue it may be in the dumps back again... lesson... make money and run. the technology cycles & mergers etc are very very risky... I have been there before when the coms thread had so much activity that we were waiting for a stock split... Come eric with his smooth talking gib. every article /cnbc had him on. where is he now????. hiding I presume... All the usrx guys should be kicked out of COMS. they sold there stock last year immediately. don't tell me they did not know the channel was stuffed?. Regards, Immi... (It takes one misstep to break credibilty on wall street)...

>>Just read thro' two whole days of asnd thread, that sure made some pretty interesting readings.<< Yeah, I did some of the same on friday. Very strange...even though the stock is dropping, there may be another side to the story. >> One interesting observation is that the posters there almost never posted here and vice vera. I guess asnd and coms are just two stocks representing two totally different valuation models.<< Not entirely true. I see lots of ASND people come over...some stay longer than others. They are interested in seeing what's going on with COMS, but I get the feeling that most don't want to get burned twice after what happened in ASND, but also, lots see it as a potential profitable situation. Some of their posts mention COMS, but not much. Their products don't overlap a whole lot is the reason I attribute this. COMS more lower end and ASND is vice versa. >>I feel so despair that coms is so cheap yet it still keeps on dropping.<< Yeah, discouraging, but I don't see fundamentally anything negative, so I attribute the stock movements to the stock markets ways. There are lots of times the market makes no sense at all. Right now, the entire market seems on shaky ground, if you ask me. joe
