A post from Yahoo that really... ...makes sense to me. (There's a surprise.) For those concerned, just talked to broker,,,he mentioned that large orders coming back into WCOM,,,his house is now recommending to all clients to buy WCOM now that the dust has cleared and the uncertainty of a purchase is left behind. Lesson to be learned: 1. Bernie sends out feelers to guage market reactions to a deal. I always treat these drops as buying opportunities. 2. Management can be trusted,,,obviously,,,they own more shares than we will ever see. 3. Buy on dips,,,and don't listen to dips. ~~~~~~~~ <g> Jumping in with both boots. Best wishes, Tom
