Hey, I did not mean to tweak anyone's curiosity, but was quite sincere when I said that basically misery loves company, and I have been miserable for about two years as I have played with the Xicor stock. But since you asked, we are in Southern California, sosme of the group have followed Xicor for 10 years; There are about 10-12 of us; five went to the stockholders meeting in June, and we are convinced to a man that you are right; that this is a very well RUN company, and that all of its figures point to a very good growth stock; we now, however, think it is going to take longer than we thought just three months ago. Basically our thoughts are that the management of Xicor are terrific engineers, and a helleva lot less than that as businesmen. We thought the move to an outside marketing firm some four or five months ago would help, and I think it did what with Solomon Brothers getting involved, etc., but now with the blood letting going on in the Tech stocks in general, we are now convinced that Xicor
really has no floor due to the low institutional percentage of ownership and the people that sell at any price for no good reason. It is our belief, and we have CPA's, and corporate CFO's involved, that it will grow, and maybe in the next two to three years get back to the $30 level. There are a lot of people smarter than I am in this group, and they tell me it cannot miss. So we are here for the duration, come hell or high water. Several of us have been watching your comments are concur with just about everything you and Blaine have to say. But we really do get very frustrated by the lack of good news that Xicor as a company fails to dissimate to the press, etc. At any rate, I will try and watch your thread a little more deligently and offer a comment or two where appropriate. Just rest assured you guys are not alone. Patrick
PS. Cumulatively, we own about 300,000 shares of stock. Pat
