I have been reading this thread for some time and trying to familiarize myself with this company, which seems to have some potential. I'm still trying to figure out the normalized earnigns potential of the company and having some trouble doing so. Your comment about market timing surprised me though. I am trying to resist running with the momentum players and making my own assesment of stocks irrespective of market movements. With this volatile and momentum driven a market, that is getting increasingly difficult. I have a couple of low-priced stocks that I have held onto for what seems forever that no one seems to care about. I guess I would reply to your timing statement that although it seems beneficial to time the market in the short-term, you always lose out in the end. You always get caught. I look at the best investors of our times (I mean exemplary performance over 20+ years) and I do not see a single "market-timer" amongst any of them. They all went against the grain at the worst seeming times and made fortunes. Often, they had to wait years for their investments to develop (that takes the timing out of it) The technology area may be its own kind of animal, though. -DK
