A friend who uses RETIX networking products recently recommended buying their stocks to me. He has no reasoning that would impress a Wall St. type for this recommendation. Just said he liked their products. Every time he's said that about a stock in the past (well, 4 times), the stock has done well in the ensuing months. Just coincidence I guess. In any event, does anyone know anything about RETIX and have any opinions on their prospects ? Cheers, Gordon

     RETIX (NASDAQ: RETX) is a telecommunication firm located in 
     Santa Monica, California.  They are in the business of designing
     gears for wireless communications.  Their stock reached a high of
     $18 and then nose dived to about $7.  Then, a few weeks ago there
     was some news about Pactell Cellular (LA based cellular phone 
     company) field testing Retix's gear in their national wireless
     project. That day, Retix moved to about $10.  It has been trading
     in the $9-$10 range sine.  Today's close was $10.125.
     I guess if you want to  speculate, it might be a good play.  There are
     other companies in this business that compete with Retix.  However,
     if the Pactel Cellular deal goes through, Retix could be a big winner,
     as Pactell is spending a ton of money in the area of Cellular and 
     wireless.  All of this was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal.  I will
     try to find that issue and will post the article location here.
     Good luck,
     Hossein

|     I believe they specialize in OSI networking products. Recently McCaw
    cellular endorsed them as vendor of choice for some of their wireless
    infrastructure.
