I am new to this company and recently bought in. I think this company is one of many to report bad quarters. The entire market is going to get wacked big time within the next two weeks. Patience is needed....

Remember When: About a year to 1 1/2 years ago CS brought in a new CEO (I forget his name but I think he was from one of the RBOC's or AT&T). Does anyone remember that he was granted options with a strike price of $35? I recall that being part of his employment contract. As a long investor who had entered at 14 7/8, I liked that incentive. Well, I think those options may have been later re-priced (lower) and, of course, the CEO didn't last a year. I think the long investors need some signs that a long-term vision of margin growth or market penetration with a diversfied product line or both is firmly in place in the company. Paul
