   I owned NorTel a total of 4 times.  Made money 3 of the 4 times, net was   
   a large gain.  First was before the bust when I worked for them up to   
   1995, I accumulated a 1200 or so, watched it rise and sold out at $60.   
   Friends thought I was nuts, but I said NorTel is pump'n'dump fraud   
   management ever since Paul Stern.   
      
   A year later I started watching it as it tanked, bought in and out 3   
   more times only losing a few $1000 on the last trade.   
      
   Ruination of a good company by bad and corrupt management.  But RIM   
   could do the same ans since I don't know as much about RIM, I stay away.   
      
   UTS and TCK.B will be my lifetime best I am sure.  Purchasing shares of   
   TCK.B @ 3.50 and less, then dumping at $36 - $43 in 10 to 12 months will   
   be my personal best return/time.

   to unborn Americans, and ruination of the American economy
