I am always intrigued when companies or their management are buying their own stock...I also took notice of the increase in institutional interest and the plethora or what looks like good deals, alliances and etc....... I also think as you that they are positioned nicely for the next wave of the technology revolution........I took a small position finally after spending a month coming trying to find reasons not to buy it......I just see too many positives and a chance at a much higher % gain then the averages......INSP could be a ten bagger, but certainly a 3 bagger I would hope, assuming a naz recovery....... I am going to watch it closely and may add to my position on any weakness......I bought today thru my full service brokerage, so the higher commissions have my cost basis at around $4 a share.....I may add if she drops into the $2's......Naz is looking nice today, not sure what to think...suckers rally, or maybe sentiment is indeed changing as prices get cheap, rate cuts get closer and lots of folks with cash, not wanting to miss the upward move jump on and shorts start to cover.......The telling point is going to be if we can sustain a rally or simply keep retesting the lows. I am very curious as to how the marlet reacts after our next rate cut...do we sell off, or continue a rally.......this much is sure, as we get cheaper, sellers have to be drying up....I mean, if we didnt sell jdsu at $130, or even $60, why sell now in the $20's.....sunw at $20 seems like a buy not a sell ( my recently purchased 03 35's I got for $3.50 are looking nice and the one's I got at $6 are looking better <ggg>)....... anyway, thanks for your thoughts on insp.....do you follow icge at all...if not take a quick peek...it's another beaten down that has potential for nice % gains....institutions are starting to take notice again...a little dd will show you many quality companies they have under their belt, and many nice alliances with some of the big boys......news of late has been good....company looks to do well with a naz rally and if the naz really comes back and icge is able to eventually put out some ipo's, they should really rock hard....even without the ipo's, many of their companies are doing very well and don't need to go public...but the ipo market would be icing on the cake.....Thanks again...have a good one keith
