>> One comparison I noticed between CIEN and Osicom is the Price to Sales Ratio. Ciena's is 8.4. Osicom's is about .25 (or 1/4 v. 8.4). If Osicom had a P/S of 8.4 we'd be up to about $134 per share. <<

Let me teach you a little something about the stock market, David. Scams and near bankrupt companies aren't awarded high P/S ratios. Same thing for low-margin companies. Ciena has around 10 times as much cash as Osicom's pitiful little market cap.

>> I've always wondered how many people consistently jump into stocks at the top of these charts, only to ride them all the way back down. <<

So why did you do that with FIBR?

>> Maybe we'll pick up AT&T. <<

Maybe you'll snap out of your fantasy world before this company gets booted off the Nasdaq.

canned the useless comparison. How can you compare Osicom;s sale of non profit, low marign, network cards and 100 of other non profits product to sale of Ciena. Compare Osicom's sale of short Haul vs Ciena's short haul is the only thing meaningful.
