Very good earnings report yesterday. But what was more encouraging to me was the tone and info during the conference call. Summarizing it: 1. Management is very comfortable with analysts estimates for the rest of the year. 2. KEON doing very well with 4.5 million in sales and this is just in the Pilots. 3. Keys and encryption sales out of sight. Hack attacks were probably responsible. 4. Addition of 100 new people, mostly in sales. 5. 888 million in cash and securities. All and all this appears to be a very good stock to in at this time. I'm long for long term. FloydP

Vikas: I've held this stock for 3 years, in at $21, I've seen: $6; $90; and now $40's. The whole time this issue of VRSN has come up, usually when it's going down...for some reason this question fades away when it's going up? I will say this about your question: if a company can sell a stock to finance its operations, that means to me that they know how to buy stocks low, and sell high. VRSN was a spinoff of RSA, the way I look at it is "you got it, flaunt it" they can do it. Not only is this 800# gorilla in the right spot industry-wise, but they also have competence fiscally. You might ask, "why didn't you sell at $90"? Well, in hindsight I could have taken some off the table. Had I known the market in general would be cut in half, that would have worked. By the way, that's THE ONLY reason RSA is down. Hope this helps, John
