Steve, I agree with you, except I don't find the insider buying very impressive.

As you know I increased my long time position back above historic maximums under 1 1/2. But I wanted to see the second quarter card
before being even more aggressive. The advance has amazed me. However, you don't make money by throwing away your discipline. I also want to see Q2.

I suspect that Q2 will cause indigestion in the price. The higher the stock goes the more likely that the market may look at a 15 cent loss and some nice talk as "already in the price" and sell the stock.
Historic patterns do merit paying attention to. I suggest to anyone
considering buying the stock to go back and line up the stock performance with the losses a few years ago, just before the move to $14. It was by no means a straight line up then.

By the way, Raphael's track record on predicting gross margins stinks.
I still remember last time around several forecasts that they would get gross margins up to the high 40's. They never came close.
