Savi would be a perfect candidate for an IPO this year. They appear to be profitable, or close to it. You are correct in observing that the problems associated with cargo containers are going to be a significant political issue this year.

Two other IPO candidates would be Matrics and Alien. Alien will probably wait. If I am not mistaken, they have stated that they will not be profitable until 2005.

I expect to see a few reverse mergers in this sector this year.

RAE looks interesting but the current valuation seems a bit out of line. BTW, I was looking at their SEC filings and was surprised to see that they went public via a reverse merger in April 2002. The old Nettaxi shell.
