I can put 2 cents on that one in that I am long WCOM, LOR, QCOM, ATI, PCS and all have far and away outstripped my hopes except LOR. I'm sitting on top of 3000 shares of LOR that could better have been in any on of the others and if LOR were bought out on Monday for $35/share I would switch that money into any of the others. On another matter I am sitting in a Seattle neighborhood with USWest who says I don't qualify for DSL and my cable company TCI just blew again. I cannot imagine personally anyone being excited to own AT&T/TCOMA with that sht service. I would love to put a set top box on top of my PC and string a line the roof to a VSAT for G or C* sservice or an appropriate hybrid for $40/month, FWIW. Jim Black

The attractiveness of a buyout is something I have to weigh each day against my long term investor principles. The swing factor for me is that I have client's money invested in Loral. The old saying that "everyone is a long term investor as long as they are getting short term gains" is oh so true. I don't mind waiting, but I have a business to run. Clients DO mind waiting. It is going on 3 years for some of them, with small profits. The natives do get restless.
