As Robert said "Checkfree's price performance is starting to remind me of some other great companies. Their stocks have never recovered from a few negatively perceived events."

Qualcomm is one of those stocks that never seemed able to recover from bad news - bounced around roughly between 35 to 70 for more than 2 years. All along they were building revenues in a strong and steady fashion. Good news or sometimes no news would cause a run up near 70, then a fast plunge back to 50s if I remember correctly.

Bad-mouthing by Ericsson and other GSM players and collapse of SE Asia was mostly to blame for the cap on the stock. Even though the company was often mentioned as a technology leader, nothing could get it out of the doldrums. But when QCOM settled with Ericsson, everyone else thought the sky was the limit - and look what happened.

I think there's a great deal of similarity to CF situation - healthy mid-size company with a great product, but everyone thinks there must be at least 10 giant companies waiting to stomp them.
