their products solve real business problems. netscout thinks they do but it's just a patchwork troubleshooting product that costs a sh$t load of money.

if you listened to their last earnings call you'd understand why this company is dying another slow death. buying network general extended their liveley hood another 2 years with artificial growth and a chance to show results by expense management. it still appears sales and management cannot get out of their way to sell in a down economy.

it will flounder as it always has between 8-12 with no real payback to any stockholders.
