8×8, Inc. (EGHT): The Last Three Months Never Happened

Of course, these innovators aren’t really battling each other. They’re all facing the entrenched monopolies of hard-wired phone lines, and the newer cell-phone solutions. I wouldn’t be surprised if these small-caps end up consolidating over the next couple of years. They’re all cash-rich and nearly debt-free, they provide a flexible and reasonably priced alternative to a ubiquitous service, and they could all use some more marketing muscle. So why not band together, pool your resources, and fight the power more effectively?

This report washed the previous quarter’s bitter taste out of investors’ mouths. Me, I have a thumbs-up CAPScalls on three of these four digital voice stocks. I’m only waiting for another unreasonable plunge before adding Cbeyond to the bullish herd. I’m a believer.
