re Exds

But, Lu vs Csco isn't the same game. In that case, the big guy is essentially a King trying to beat back a Gorilla upstart. With IBM you have a gorilla (in some games) and the King of direct sales (source: Chasm) and consulting/services. Because EXDS is "only" a nascent King, their position isn't as strong.

So, your conclusion is probably just right: Focus real tightly on EXDS on earnings days. And then, I wonder, how much of the decision to hold at this point is momentum-driven. Hmm. . .

Best,
JS

Stan, Exodus must have tremendous storage needs. In your DD, did you find out whose customer they are - NTAP? EMC?
