Acme Packet (APKT)

[goofyfoot]

Welcome to the Acme Packet message board!

I'm a novice investor, compared to most, yet maybe more experienced than some. I've made some money in the market, sometimes by accident, and sometimes due to (other people's) technical analysis and what market sentiment I could read. Yet, I've lost money these ways, as well.

In any case, I believe that Acme Packet presents a good opportunity for an investor who is looking to make a 40 to 50% return on their investment between today (10/19/2006) and six months from now, literally to the day. After that, I believe Acme Packet will be faced with competition from Cisco, and possibly a Chinese organization.

Therefore, this isn't a long term investment for me, though the company may develop another product line and compete in a different market.

Since no options are currently offered on this security, this is a good place for me to start. I really would like to understand options trading, and if someone wishes to use this board to post POSITIVE options investment advice, that would be fine. POSITIVE discussions about other stocks are OK, too.

However, if anyone spams this board, or REPEATEDLY bashes APKT, well, your posts will be deleted. Repeating bashings and spams result in BANS.

I wish every APKT investor good luck, and if you feel like posting, feel free!
