Hi Jim, The heavy volume and the fairly tight range on AFCI indictes someone thinks it is a bargain. AFCI problems right now is that is management lacks creditbility and it does not appear to have the ability to win a RBOC contract. The impression is that AFCI is still too small to properly service an RBOC contract. The result is loss of RFP competitions to companies such as a DIGI. The heavy foreign sales exposure can be a plus or a curse depending on the strength of China. The lack of a DSL product is hurting sales too. There are stocks with better prospects out there at this point. ADCT just announced a win at GTE. Their HomeWorx cable telephony product should be deploying in greater number soon. As I mentioned in the ORTL notes, cable companies seem to be spenting right now. The have a series of ADSL Product coming out early next year. TLAB is looking incredbily cheap here too. The merger will hang over this company till Nov, but as an investment or a intermediate term trade this is a good entry point.
