Gary, you dont seem to have a sense of humor what so ever! Cool down, relax and enjoy the life a bit! My comments to JimA was mostly for fun with someone whom I could not reason with! Lets hope you are different. So here is my 2 cents and you can ignore it if you dont like to welcome my comments! Anyway, as for Sun, I have been investing in this company a little over 2 years now and have been adding to my shares on major dips such as what we are having now. As for the stock price analysis if the pattern proves to be correct this timealso I expect the price to go down at most for another 5%-6% or so from what it is now and will see a bounce back BIG time very shortly either a couple of days prior to the earnings report or after the report. But of course nothing is for sure. Wether the price goes up in the next month or so is absolutely irrelavant to the company's prospects. As for the company I know it inside and out and I can guarantee you with confidence (without being fanatic about the company) that it is solid with perhaps the most innovative people working for it. Sun used to be considered a hardware only company but with Java (and NO JAVA as some may claim IS NOT just another programming language like C++) it is in a great position to set a new standard in the software industry thus positioning itself to compete strongly against Microsoft/Intel partnership. JavaBeans is a technological breakthrough that makes it possible for componization to take place in software. Just like how you go about buying the DRAM from Micron, The pentium from Intel and the monitor from Magnovox and then put them togethert to build a PC, JavaBeans makes it possible to buy third party software objects and hook them up together (regardless of who wrote them) and run them either as desktop only application or web applications. Microsoft has also introduced a similar capability via its ActiveX technology. But ActiveX only works under Windows (therefore makes it a proprietory product) while JavaBeans not only integrates with ActiveX but with other component model technologies such as OpenDoc, etc. With JavaBeans I think there would be a good potentials for NC's to become very popular for ordinary people who dont really need a PC (and there are a lot of them out there) not mentioning the corporations and their Intranet applications. So in short dont look at Sun as just another company that sells servers and workstations. That is still the bread and butter of the company but beginning the second half of 1997 you can see the effects of JavaBeans and NC's to boost to this great company's earnings BIG TIME. That is why I am sayinng anywhere between $20-$30 the stock is dirt cheap with what it can produce in 6 months or so. Right now everyone is looking at 'possible' lower profit margins in Sun's workstation sector and most investors who know Jack Sh* about the technology are scared and are selling. My advise to you my friend is as I always say: Take advantage of market's fear in order to gain from its greed later! Regards, - Addi Jamshidi
