Dave:

My guesses on Analyst behavior:

-Analysts have group mentality. Last year Yahoo was worth $500 million or so. Now it is worth over 10 times that amount.

-Analysts follow the moves of Big Companies. So, the Day IBM or Lucent or Intel or Microsoft start buying up GPS companies, that sector gets huge money supply. Look how Netscape just shot up in two days when they whispered an alliance/equity ownership with a big Media company.

-Analysts study markets in which there are several fast growing players. Otherwise it takes too much time, energy, and brain power. Unfortunately, in the GPS business there is hardly any established company that is growing fast.

-As analysts are usually associated with brokerage houses, they focus on companies that are going to float more stock. Possibly reward companies and top management (by chance or intention). Remember that the last Big Surge in Trimble stock was when they issued new stock. So hope that the Top management is planning another public offering.....
