Let's say everything is above board. How high do you think Zitl can go with so much competition? If the total upside from here is, let's say, a double, is it really worth all this effort? Surely you and many others (on both sides of this issue) seem to have the knowledge and contacts to find doubles routinely? Am I off base here? Are doubles very rare to find? I have no luck, but then I am a little investor with no contacts. I rely on newsletters, etc. and so far have gotten burned over & over. Even though I made a little on Zitl, it hasn't even come close to my losses. I guess I'm out of my league in small stock investing.

Anyway, at what point (what should I look for or listen for) would there be a clear signal that Zitl was going substantially higher or lower. I can't ever seem to get in or out at the right time.

The other piece of this whole puzzle that continues to bother me is this: Is most of the code that is being changed on computers made by IBM? If so, wouldn't IBM be working furiously on solving this problem with billions at stake? I know Brady and others came from IBM, but surely some of their brightest are still there. IAIC claims to have been working on their solution for 15 years as well. Don't you think IBM has as well? If so, isn't it just a matter of time until they conquer the problem as efficiently as Matridigm?

I guess these stocks seem to be temporary (perhaps even more temporary than 2-3 years) plays. I guess that's why I'm out -- no risk tolerance. Although you wouldn't know it by the stocks I've bought and still hold at great losses because of newsletter writers!
