Mehrdad, I've enjoyed your posts recently and think you are right on the money. Sure, detractors and abrasive doomers and gloomers have a few good points but fail to see the trees through the forest. And they never will. I spent a year on the QCOM thread trying to get a self-proclaimed telecom "expert" to see the wisdom of investing in QCOM but he was stuck on Nokia and Ericsson since they were dominant players. Fact is, telecom and computing are fast changing industries and the best returns go with those that surprise, not necessarily those with the largest market share. And 3Com is well positioned to surprise. Let us know about your Palm VII when it arrives. I like companies that have their fingers in more than one pot and am looking for $37 before year end. If so, that will be a very nice return. Bux
