Uncle Frank: Just to prove that you are right - you couldn't keep some of us out even by threatening to beat us (figuratively I hope) with a stick - I thought about a possible reason why the newest of the new genuine gorillas may not be rising in price today quite as much as many of us might have anticipated - other competing investment opportunities.

While the Q is IMO the quintessential gorilla investment for the next 3 to 5 years at a miniimum and therefore is basic, there are a few of us who may not wish to be in the 100% Q Qlub for one reason or another. And there are many less informed re the Q who simply compare moves on "flyers" which they think have even better short term potential than the Q for price moves up in the next few months.

Just a look today in a major market move up gives a clue. HLIT and PHCM have jumped over 10 so far just today. And others such as JDSU and ICGE are up over 5 today up to now. And this is on top of major moves for these stocks up in the last days and weeks. This is tough competition for the Q in attracting investment $$'s to the stock - as a stock - regardless of the fundamentals - particularly for those who have no clue re the GG.

Offered for comment.
