George, I think most forget why this thread became so popular ? It was the great debate about TDMA/GSM versus CDMA. Negatives actually created this thread. I have lurked in the shadows and have been on both sides of the coin for a long time so I remain content not having to side on most issues. I admit to being one-sided at one time but Gregg Powers and his sincere posts even awoke the brain dead such as me. What he did on the Web was a first. To have a person such as him that was responsible for a huge amount of others peoples money come out and comment and debate issues is something that no one in the investment industry can match. What's ironic is this , both sides are winners if we roll the clock back . Anyone that looked at both sides of the coin and just bought 100 shares of Mot, ERICY, QCOM , Lu , Att and Nokia most probably would have more value than attempting to pick the best winner. Your comments on the market in general make sense . The Internet has afforded the public to share their views and trade securities only relying on their own judgments. Most are in jeopardy short range because of the lack of ability to know when to trade. No offense intended but I view you as a used car salesman that has a valued opinion of the markets . When something has value you buy and when it's over valued you sell. Most advisors or Guru's tell investors to buy good companies and stay in for the long run. That's good advice for the average bear but if there weren't aggressive investors such as you there would be no market. This thread has the Gurus scratching their head's and wondering how they missed the boat. Stick around and make some more calls. You were only at bat one time and got a hit but I need to see you step up to the plate a few more times to determine your batting average. Good Luck Jim
