One of the most intriguing aspects for SIGM investors is the insider buying. Silvio Perich is VP, Sales and has been an astute trader. He sold out above $10 in December 1999, as I recall, and has been buying back in since the breakdown. He now owns 126,000 shares. SIGM jumped from $1.25 to $1.75 last week on an article that linked SIGM's chip to a set top box that Verizon may use for a DSL roll out. This remains a high risk situation as SIGM's STB success is still limited to design wins and test-quantity shipments.
