Veliny,

While waiting for DMX is irritating both stocks have some
similarities and more importantly some big differences.

I'm only down a percentage on DMX but I'm down multiples
on SMY. I worry about DMX - but not SAMsys.

I agree with your 'pushing the string' analogy and you only
have to go back to a year or so ago to see other similar
agreements have long been in place.

BTW - here's an excellent link for SMY information. This
person does a lot of good work

The first level issue in my mind is that RFID is coming and
will not be stopped. Its superior in every way. In that
regard Mr Horwitz has been smart in positioning SAMsys into
a niche but critical role.

The VAR's are just that. Value Added.

The main play once he worked through the opening of all the
important proprietary protocols is to create end-to-end
solution frameworks so that the large future customers have
some confidence that suppliers can not only sell them the
readers, tags, install software etc. but that the client
can buy open ended architecture through people equipped
to provide what we might call 'turnkey' installations.

In that regard I would watch for further future partnerships
or limited joint ventures.

This is all in a backdrop where the cost per tag has only
recently moved into a semi cost effective price per tag
and where the formation of the Auto ID centre has gotten
fortune 50 companies at a table together (last 2 years or
so in a serious manner) to form some joint consensus on
requirements and what it takes to convince them that the
huge investments have serious probabilities of not only
working in real life the way they're supposed to - but
actually paying off.

In my opinion enough testing in field conditions has taken
place (McDonalds in Chicago, Exxon, Walmart in N Carolina,
Revlon, International Paper) that the auto ID people are
sold on function - and now are focussed on 1)implementation
logistics and their costs and 2) business case development
in a time where large capital outlays to save future costs
are not the easiest thing to get approved.

While listening to Cliff on that latest interview said all
kinds of things like "dramatic revenue growth near future"
I do think all these boats are sailing upwind right now
and go aheads will be slow for the next year or so.

Meantime, SMY has quite a bit of cash and is very well
positioned to benefit from the continuing cost per tag
reductions and capability per tag (cellophane advertising)
while we wait. During this time they are developing higher
frequency applications in a JV with our minority partner
for greater range and functionality.

This company has done extremely well in seting itself up
for the future and RFID has so many superior aspects over
barcoding and so many paybacks - its a matter of time.

I bought another chunk yesterday. I'm not averaging down.
I am, have been, and will continue to increase my position.

I believe the odds of DMX getting FDA are extremely high
even though some of the payback period is gone and that
sales there will pay off well.

Here I think future success looks very likely.
