This is from a Reuters story after the close today: ''Armstrong is meeting with lawmakers to get the message across that if they are letting other people get together, then they should be allowed to do something as well,'' said Kevin Gooley, an analyst with Standard and Poor's. ''But AT&T is already such a large company. There's the mind set among regulators that 'We broke them up in 1984 and why put them back together?''' Gooley said. Buying a CLEC such as Teleport Communications Group Inc (Nasdaq:TCGI - news) or Intermedia Communications Inc (Nasdaq:ICIX - news) may be a smarter move for AT&T, since they would give it a local foothold without the regulatory headache of combining with a regional Bell. ''CLECs are an attractive target for AT&T since they already have local service and would make for an easier deal for regulators to handle, plus they have a very attractive business,'' Gooley said. Shares of Teleport and Intermedia have jumped recently on takeover speculation, but the companies declined to comment. biz.yahoo.com Explains much, eh? Bob

<<<Now, if you want to start a fight, do it with someone else.>>> Whatever RD. You broke the cardinal on a rule on a thread...never make fun of somebody else's finances. If you find humor in my exit prices then shame on you, because you are at the same time slapping the face of every person here who exited early. This thread is comprised of many investors sharing in knowledge....we indeed have become a united team with a common effort. If you are amused because of one of the team members exited a position early before a run-up then you can simply get lost. Many have left too early...slap my face, you slap everybody. To think you told this thread that you were once a broker? Give me a break...what kind of broker were you? Did you find humor and enjoyment when one of your clients missed on a few dollars? That's right..I'll say what many probably want to say but won't...your comments were out of line. Your conduct in a public forum is at least questionable. We are like water and oil...we simply do not mix well. Next time you want to slap the face of everyone on a thread...do it somewhere else. Ooooor, were you just sincerely trying to put a dig at me? In which case it is poor conduct as well. Sorry thread...I just don't like this guys approach sometimes. If he finds amusement in my premature exit of some IRA shares perhaps he finds enjoyment in everyone's exit at the $ 20 range (insecurity problem?). What a joke...anyone that exited at that price should be commended for making that decision. This stock could tank at anytime and we all know it...it's called "Market". Yes RD you did hit a nerve (like you usually do). Take your wisecracks somewhere else. I have two years invested in this stock...didn't buy a share for over 9 months...if you think you are better than this united thread then fine, but keep your comments to yourself please. Rich (Finding amusement that RD finds amusement over someone exiting a security).
