Project Hunt candidate EMLX has caught my attention lately. Some serious business momentum going on with this one. Financials looking very impressive. In addition, there is a very stellar list of institutions that have taken positions. Lots of the same smart $ that had loaded up on JDSU earlier on. The chart looks pretty good as well. They are supposed to report thursday. If Q4 looks good, i might take a position. Just wish i was a bit more technically knowledgeable. I dont really understand fibre channel.

Hi Chaz, Is it possible to take up a candidate not in your list at this late date. I am extremely interested in presenting a case for Palm Computing. The impending spinoff by 3Com will make it a separate entity. Can we add this to the list? I am willing to evaluate it's Simian traits. Thanks, Piyush
