Skiawal, the dr maybe right, but at the rate I getting margin squeezed. It wouldn't matter. It would be fitting that I tip out and the stock runs back to $50

AT current prices WSTL adsl is being valued a 0 dollars...This is a absolutily obsurd valuation....Most analyst worth talking to realize this yet can't find interested investors...Small cap funds are raising cash, analyst are know where to be found, individual investors are worried about cable and brokers have lived in margin call hell with clients for a month....Sounds like we should put a bottom in very soon....Just remember RBOCs have nothing else but ADSL to keep local Intnt access customers and this will not be IF but WHEN....Also, WSTL has had more ADSL revenue and enginers than any other company that specializes in ADSL....ADSL will be a hot growth story again in the near future and WSTL will be there to participate...However, I feel that shareholders should E-mail MZ and tell him that WSTL should seriously consider a 1 to 2million share buyback too help preserve shareholder value in a small cap liquidation crisis and ignore legal advise of stock buy blackout....This is a premier ADSL company shareholders should speak their mind if that valuation is now nonexistent....

Hey Skiawal: I'm dying here man. No margin sell off, but doom and gloom pervades my household in a big way. Holdings: 4,500 WSTL 6,000 SHVA Refuse to disclose acquisition prices due to embarrasment. Japan closed up a fraction, hopefully boding well for tomorrow. Kev

If you are still holding WSTL, then it is too late to scream at this price level. There is not much to loose and recover at this level. You just have to sit tight and blame yourself that you have been too smart to realize importance of ADSL so early( before the street will appreciate it). TXN did the same mistake last year then paid too much for AMTX. Today they could get it for 1/10 of the price along with our sucker WSTL. Actually nobody ever expect, that WSTL would ever drop to $5 level just before ADSL deployment. I remember somebody was so bluish that was buying $15 Sep calls. The worst scenario was that WSTL would stay in $10 range (now it looks like a relief). Something is fishy here. Or something is wrong with announced WSTL contracts or MM is trying to wash out small investors. I could not explain why AMTX was valued at $20 last year, but WSTL is valued today at $5 with all contracts in a pocket. I don't know what is going to move this stock, if 7mil BEL's lines in 98/99 year is not enough for the Street. Gall.
