Anyway, it doesn’t seem to matter at this point how Nortel does as long as they muddle along. They have the Canadian government in their back pocket just like Bell Canada because too many pension funds in Canada own the stock of both companies. The Canadian government will be forced to throw good money after bad. Ah the wonders of a fiat currency !

I’ll give MZ and his mgmt team with above-market salaries another 4 quarters but that will be it for my 10K shares…I would rather take the loss then and reinvest than keep buying into their hype.

I think I will withhold judgment until NT reports significantly improved earnings quarter over quarter for five quarters running. (without restatement)

To ensure Nortel remains on the offense, to demonstrate his personal belief and committment to increasing stockholder value, and in the true spirit of actual Pay for Performance, I propose that Mike Z’s compensation should be directly proportional to the actual daily return realized by the retail investor.

May I suggest Mike Z’s total yearly salary and compensation should be prorated to equal the number of trading days in a year, and that he should be paid daily in retail Nortel stock. If the stock goes up, he will do well. If it tanks, he will feel the same pain as the rest of us.

Come on Mike Z! Show us your committment!

I had a customer visit both Cisco and Nortel for an upcoming project and they came back with the following: Cisco was very slick with lots of cool things. Nortel was more Engineering focused however also had very cool stuff. The customer said we need to advertise and promote the fact that we are doing the same stuff Cico claims they are only capable of. Sales and Marketing needs to step up and take it to the next level, then and only then will Nortel return to greatness.
