Hi Dan,
  I saw the Rambus filing on Friday too.  Without thinking too much, I will plunge in once the price settles down - about 5 days after the  IPO, I predict.  They have had so much publicity, I suspect the price  action will follow Netscape's chart for the first week or so.  That is, the price will spike way up the first day due the supply/demand imbalance  inherent in hot IPO's.  Then it will quickly start falling from ridiculous  levels as the momentum temporarily reverses.  Once the selling dries up in  5 to 10 days and the stock stops dropping, I will bet big(for me).  I don't  expect any such phenomenom to occur for NeoMagic.  If anything, given  the current environment, I bet Neo will be flat to down for a bit.  Still a good bet once the tech stocks start to recover.
  As for the other pick you made, the firewall guys - I'm not too knowledgeable in that area.  But if you're sure it's a good pick, tell me more and maybe I'll try it.
  Good Luck, Jim |
