Must've killed you to sell at these prices. Good luck finding something to recoupe your losses in GTE. 1.37 PPs is pretty to no one except the shorters at this point.
Like all the real longs, I am just waiting out the Stratellite; as I know for sure they have put major energy into its development. And NOTHING is more important than getting this HAA to optimum readiness for the test, whenever it comes. Too much at stake for the company and employee's. The technician's will have important results to their career's, whatever the outcome.
There has to be all kinds of subterfuge going on with the stock because of those large hedge funds who know just what to do in speculative situations like this, and because of the intense pressure felt by major telecoms who know, that were the Stratellite to sail, they would have to be cutting deals with GTE, or sink like a stone in the extremely competitive world of global/domestic telecommunications.
