Whitmore G. - Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really am determined to know the basics of FC and invest for the long haul in leading companies. RE: JNIC - I read several positive articles on the company and liked that they were profitable, so I invested shortly after the IPO. Do you think its long-term prospects are good? I have followed BRCD since its IPO and the price just keeps going sky-high. Do you think it's a little pricey at these levels? Any opinion on QLGC and EMLX? I read Q's annual report today, sales and earnings growth is robust. The numbers look good but for a tyro like me who knows zilch about FC it is hard to know whether the company's products and leadership are on the right track. Anyway, I will check out Alan Technologies. Charlie
