Gst, have you heard of George Gilder? Forget Meeker, Abbey J Cohen...Gilder is the shaker and the mover in tech land. Btw Gilder buys stock in the companies, just before he recommends them. >Santa Clara, California, May 12 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of Terayon Communication Systems Inc., Agilent Technologies Inc. and other makers of fast-network equipment rose after George Gilder's Technology Report highlighted growth prospects. Terayon and Agilent shares each gained 17 percent. Gilder said Terayon, which make equipment for cable modems, could benefit from the expected surge in demand for the devices.
