One more thing on R+D and earnings. Here's a scenario. CUBE spends $12 million on R+D in QTR 1 97. Increase of 90% over Q1 96. Earns .50 a share. Beats street estimate by 25%. Glowing analysts reports and upgrades follow. Short squeeze. Stock very quickly runs to 34. Company is now worth .2 Billion more on paper. If they had done this, no one would question R+D spending as being too low. Why didn't they?

Company is obviously looking towards the future. It would've been easy to "prettify" these numbers in a variety of other ways. Longs be patient. Sep. Calls might be a good way to play this stock.
