Scientific-Atlanta Inc. (SFA) 20 3/8 -3/4: supplier of broadband communications systems, satellite-based video, voice and data communications networks is warning that it expects Q1 earnings of between $0.02 a and $0.05 a share, significantly below the First Call mean consensus of $0.22 and year-ago profit of $0.21 a share; expects revenues to come in at $257 mln, well below year-ago $295 mln level; blames weakness in overseas markets for earnings miss; see press release..... ________ I'm afraid all the steam has not been let out of the telecom sector just yet. However, Street will soon realize NT warning wasn't so bad after all. NT has a solid long-term story. Key challenge for NT now is to bring back up employees morale and keep the momentum going.

Hey Paul and rest of thread I send this note out to show people that even someone who, like myself has experienced the greatest lost of his stock investing career, still believes that this stock is a good buy at these levels, and that when everything settles down, it should come back up to the mid-to-high 40's in approximately 6 months. My story is that through huge margin and lack of proper stop losses, I have so far actually lost $45K and am down another $54K in paper loss. I have been called on margin on three separate occasions. My next call will come around $25. But with the markets losing in excess of 400 DOW points and 125 Nasdaq points in two days, the stock is down only about $1 from its open on Wednesday. Lets hope this stock starts to base and continues its slow but steady climb back to respectability. Good Luck to all Chaz
