Fairchild was a huge company back during the days of its founder. When he died the company went private, eventually becoming part of National Semiconductor. NS spun off its Fairchild division where it began an aggressive acquisition strategy and has again become a huge company. I thought it would have done better during its IPO, but given the market conditions it didn't. The future? Well, my opinion is that we're gonna see FCS like a steady horse, a mudder, if you will, constantly churning determedly forward, incrementally rising along the way. Given the way other semiconductor companies are placed, I just don't see this one going down much at all and it should be mostly upward. I've been buying open market IPOs and selling for quick profit, keeping shares in some of the ones I like. Well, I liked FCS well enough to keep 25% of my holdings. Didn't make much money on the IPO but I believe I will down the road as FCS continues.

Hi Pezz, FCS closed at $24.75 this week. If you've just returned from a vacation you should be pleased with this weeks' results---unless you have shorted it:) FYI I have updated my semi watchlists. Here is a list of 23 Semiconductor stocks under $31: techstocks.com (It was stocks under 20 but this week so many of them rose, I raised the ceiling to $31) Here is the list of 23 Semiconductor stocks over $31: techstocks.com Why 23 of each? Because 46 is just the random # I came up with when compiling all the ones I'd heard of. There is an index of semiconductor stocks, the ticker symbol for it is $SOX.X
