I agree, we should see some upward movement of SILCF in sympathy with the LNUX ipo this week.

A little comparison...
In an SEC filing Socket Communications (SCKT) said they considered Silicom a competitor of theirs. Let's compare the 2 companies:

Sales: For the past year SILCF is just behind SCKT in sales.

Earnings: SCKT still operates at a loss while SILCF is profitable.

Cash: SCKT has $1.3 million while SILCF has $6.7 million cash.

Shares Outstanding: SCKT has 10.6 million. SCKT has almost 4 million shares outstanding

Stock price: Both are about $6 per share.

In my opinion SILCF will fare as well, if not better than SCKT in coming months. Plus SILCF already has Linux support for its Home-Networking and Broad-Band Internet Access product line. In the first quarter of 2000 SILCF should have Linux software support.

If SILCF had the current SCKT market cap of $60 million+, SILCF would be selling over $15 per share right now.

Considering the above I feel that SILCF deserves as high if not a higher market cap than SCKT. Of course, with new contracts and rapidly accellerating revenue/earnings $15 per share could seem like a bargain price in just a few months.
