Hey JA- Good idea. How much could a simple "Intel Inside" type campaign cost? Yet...I wonder...does the Q need ANY more PR inertia? Cooling the after burners on the stock price seems like a good idea right now. We, as investors, might be able to benefit from patience with respect to growth prospects. One more thing comes to mind...when you have a brand that you want to differentiate in a homgoneous market, a "personality" is a good tool. The Q has THE TECHNOLOGY. In my opinion they are not remiss in focusing on executing on that advantage. Most folks don't have any idea how a fuel injection or emissions system on a car works these days. I feel it is to the Q's advantage to cultivate the perception that they have something "extraordinary". Is this what Voltaire means about ambiguity being our ally? -Thinking out loud. Thanks CrookedI

You know, that's a very good idea. Why don't you email it to investor relations? You're right about people not knowing. A friend's husband bought GMST because I was enthusiastic. At a day-after-Thnaksiving party he said quite confidently, "I don't know anything about the stocks I invest in. I just buy if somene I know is enthusiastic. That's my best signal." Meanwhile, he bought it at 97 presplit so that would be about49 or so. An dhe sold it a month later. So he didn't even stay in it. People are nuts!
