I find it quite uncomfortable buying in to the teeth of the downgrade by BEST. They have brokered the secondary and involved in the Bond issue. I also find it strange that with BEST's "Strong Buys'" they would include a justification. All we have so far is their downgrade. More questions...few answers! Just an opinion from an emotional stockholder. John The Motley Fool's Market Movers (Downs) The Motley Fool - October 27, 1998 12:39 Fiber-optic transmission and local area networking (LAN) products maker MRV Communications (Nasdaq: MRVC) was off $1 1/16 to $8 after Bear Stearns downgraded the company to "attractive" from "buy." newsalert.com

<Wouldn't this kind of volume drop us much further if it was all selling frenzy?> It dropped us awfully far and awfully fast - 7 3/8 at the low. But to answer your question - as best I can - yes, it would have fallen much farther IF it had all been selling frenzy of sellers desperate to get out based on semi-specific leaks. Actually, it bounced quickly from this low and based on its close at 7 7/8, I would say we have good support at 7 5/8. All in all, I would now quess that this was just normal retracement after a nice upward move; day traders and such jumping off with the end of the upward momentum. ( We've seen some evidence of them on this thread; investors who will sell when the stock drops 1/8th.)<If I wasn't so darned attached to this stock, I'd do it myself!> SO, the Gods of the Market willing, MRVC can now resume its advance.
