I agree with the guy who said Gill was gradually turning the battleship around. They're doing everything right fundamentally. That means plenty of earnings drag and it means slow but solid progress. I never thought the company was narrow enough for buyout and have always preferred they do their own thing. That would in time yield a $100 company. The criticisms sported on the thread have been valid. I've owned the stock for several years and hold it at a loss of several dollars. It has been a very disappointing hold. Every deal seems to be so good and then you can't find the revenues added on the bottom line. My sources tell me that executive management is very disappointed in the apparent failure of their determined attempts to get things going. Part of the problem has been the wrong macro-strategy referred to here as failure to pursue the carrier market. However, FORE was never positioned to do this and it would have taken until now to pull it off, yet they wouldn't have benefited all that much, because that market is too fluid. Juniper can compete with CSCO. In contrast the way they are sneaking in the open back door and at the same time hatching much of the trashed enterprise strategy bodes well once it starts coming together. I agree with this thread that they can't persist with acquisitions every time earnings are starting to congeal. It isn't only a matter of the stock price, it's a matter of conducting a crazy quilt company. It never comes in, and eventually heads for one of those chapters.
