RFMD +30% YTD...Not too shabby indeed...everything I buy I expect at least a 100% return in 6-9 months...if it falls somewhat short of that I am still happy, but many will exceed 100%...I have over 100% returns in JDSU, EMLX, RFMD, QLGC, and NOK just since early NOV. A couple of these are well over 100%. Also up over 1200% on SCKT in the same time frame...have 10 or so other holdings up anywhere from 10-90% since OCT lows. Just said that to say this, if RFMD didn't fit into my investment strategy I would probably just begin to trade it and not hold the stock, but after several years of paying the taxman 30%+ capital gains on short term trades, I am beginning to see the wisdom of holding some stocks longer term and paying only 20%. Best of trading to ya!! Emac
