GTE was above 2.00 before the Russian deal - then all the BS from MF, Byron, et al, and the BONY deal - yes, the failure of the Russian deal was a blow, but how about the 1.5MM shares and the current lack of sp volatility now. When the 1.5MM shares was in the mix, stock price was all over the place. So, IMO, there is more to it than just the Russian deal issue. But, that's what opinions are - just that - opinions.
