Anybody buying SCMR probably need to read this.
"
Sycamore has 173 employees. The company, which will reap
about $216.6 million in net proceeds from the IPO, made its first
sale in May. It has one customer, Williams Communications
Group, of Tulsa, Okla., a newly public and unprofitable company
that provides voice, data, Internet, and video services to
communications-service providers.

In its SEC filing, Sycamore said Williams is not obligated to
purchase any minimum quantities of products. Sycamore said it
will not be successful if it doesn't expand its customer base.
However, in the foreseeable future, the company said
substantially all of its revenues will depend on sales to Williams
and a limited number of potential new customers."

I admit it probably will be hot. However, I think its business prospect is weak compared with ATON and FDRY.
