RE: RE: RE: Making a killing

Good comments today on SVC

I am long also.

The only concerns I have are

1. of course net profits - we need more net to excite the stock

2. many new entrants and partnerships in the space possibly making it harder for SVC to keep its foothold on the 28% of the overall market, however, I am hoping that the pending results on SPIRENT testing, and the new 25 customers to date prove me wrong and current R&D expenditures bring us our long awaited ROI.

I agree that the Bridgewater deal does show a future trend of more M&A in this space. With SVC only worth 257M or so today, it is surprising that the likes of CSCO have not taken a stonger look at SVC. Also, lets not forget the CSCO and Pixtream (a Dave Caputo success story) deal shy of 1B.

Best to all!
