| BUY | 6.860 | Brian Acker, CA | Model price is $9.90, a 50% positive differential. There is still more room to go. There are a whole handful of these fallen angels, including Juniper Networks (JNPR-Q) Andrew (ANDW-Q), etc and if you buy a basket of these, you should do very well in a year’s time. | 2006-08-31 | |
