That dumping has driven the stock price down more than 90 percent from a year ago.
Still, analysts maintain that the stock price has little to do with the company's operations.
What we're looking for in the earnings report is a drop in operating expenses since Optical Cable trimmed its workforce.

In less than week, Virginians will choose their next governor.
This morning, we're profiling Democrat Mark Warner. He's never held public office.
But a record number of Virginians have given the multimillionaire money to run for the state's top job this year. Warner's up in the polls and all over T-V.
Ellen Qualls has his story.

Mark Warner spent ten million dollars of his own money and lost, but by such an unexpectedly slim margin, he knew his own political capital had actually gone up in defeat.
[sot tape 96-11 5:21 ]
((MARK WARNER: STOCKS GO UP AND DOWN, BUT I THINK I MAY BE A LONG TERM HOLD.))
[runs= 04 ]

The son of a Republican insurance salesman and a homemaker mom, Warner's always been a motivated organizer.
He was high school class president without even campaigning, his friends say, because his reputation for getting things done was so solid.
He's the first in his family to go to college, picking George Washington University to be close to politics, then Harvard Law School, to understand the law.
But then in the early 80s, he saw an opportunity that would make the road into politics so much easier.
The then-legal, now-banned auctioning of licenses for things called "cell phones" made him millions.
But today, as the rich guy on the campaign trail, it's not all fun and games.

He says he gets energy from people.
