It was Peter. And it was a great call.

I'd suggest we look in the financial sector. I am reading, hearing and talking with people who are indicating that the financials are really beaten up and they will provide the "flag" for leadership back.

I am not abandoning the semi area. A SIA report just issued indicated that they have double digit growth for the next 3 years.

Michael,

A few weeks back, I mentioned IWOV (Interwoven) as a company to watch. It was a recent IPO with a similiar product and market approach as VIGN (Vignette. Both companies sell products targeted at web infrastructure or the "plumbing" companies need when building websites. I like IWOV over Vign due to some technical factors which I wont bore you with, suffice it to say I believe IWOV has a competitive advantage while being the relative new kid on the block. FWIW, IWOV's quiet period ends on the 2nd.

I have also mentioned PRGN several times and continue to like what these guys are doing. While there are some business risks, all and all it's a good company, good product position and solid management.
