Ali - Still here, just hanging onto my long shares in temporary despair. Still believe in Winstar's story and hoping to see a rebound before I need the money!!!! Only a question of time before this company is taken over - Even if they aren't taken over, their progress has, for the most part, been on track with all of their projections. If they stay single, they will be one formidable competitor in the CLEC market in the very near future. Ellis

Ali: <<I have often wanted to get a chart of a company and cut it at some point in time ,like a year ago, and ask the TA guys to call what it will do from the portion I give them. OK then. Do the same thing to a FA guy. The FA guy will have a higher batting average.>> I couldn't agree with you more. Throw Warren Buffet and Peter Lynch into the FA camp as well. What confuses me is how you can correctly identify the need for fundamentals, earnings, etc. and then be surprised by the sudden drop in Winstar. <<In other words, all normal benchmarks for evaluating a company were being extended.>> Isn't a company with negative net worth and not even positive EBITDA forecasted for another year by definition the most extended?
