Dear thread I have sold all my MSPG, the reason for my selling is the fact that MSPG has failed to reach it's old high during the run to earnings, MSPG hit mental stops, and I'm having hard time understanding where MSPG will fit in after the coming FCC ruling, plus I'll be on vacation to Australia the next two weeks and I wanted to open up more margin money for when I get back.

I think that's one of the reasons the stock price is falling like a rock. Lucent, MSFT, INTEL, IBM all dropped when they failed to announce split with earnings. (By the way I believe Lucent will most likely announce one soon.) If this is the only reason I think I will buy some when it's on sale.

The stock down today is really more confusion than anything. First call and Zacks gave different estimates, one being 4c the other was 7c. So many reported it as just meeting the street which of course causes the sell off. But analysts are now writing up on the quarter very positively and said they blew away the subscriber growth and I saw a target price of around $200 by the end of the year. This is a classic case of getting the small guy out of a winner stock. As far as a split it will come soon. It's never a bad move for management to be conservative when it comes to stock splits, and I'm sure they want the stock to stick above $100 for a while before making the announcement. The ones selling today are the traders who are trying to trade the split news and they ended up guessing wrong, and got burned this morning. That's probably not most of us on this board. Ron
