Can You Spell “Vindication”?

I was just reviewing one of my predictions about the Wireless space from some months ago.  I took a lot of flack from some readers at Seeking Alpha for my suggestion that Clearwire (NASDAQ: CLWR) had issues, and that Dragonwave (NASDAQ: DRWI) had risen a bit too fast.

Yet over that period, the S&P has dropped about 8%, while CLWR has fallen more than double that amount.

Moreover, there were those that scoffed at my idea of a pair trade on the equipment suppliers:  buy Ceragon Networks (NASDAQ: CRNT) and sell Dragonwave.  It’s pleasing to note, however, that had any of them done so, there would have been a nice little pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Ceragon has lost 32% over the period, but that pales in comparison to DRWI’s drop of 47%.

Each time I’ve suggested Ceragon is a solid company with a bright future in a growing space, people have pooh-poohed the suggestion–for one reason or another.

I may be wrong someday but I’m still waiting.  In the meantime, vindication sure feels good.

Disclosure: I hold no position, either long or short, in any stocks mentioned here.
