RHAT <<you grabbin a taste ? Yup!>> Good luck.......my broker told me she has actually been telling select clients to get into rhat on any weakness......I thought their numbers looked very good considering the past year, and at current valuation, could be a very good buy. Still though, I am entering cautiously. Half the folks think we are not even near a bottom, the other half says we rebound nicely from here. Me personally...I have no idea, so I am doing the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 thing with rhat....if she drops, I add more, if she rises, I get to at least be on board with a smidgeon of shares......Heck, I need to put $2k into my IRA...not much, but maybe I'll buy a few hundred shares at $5 or less with that $2k....who knows.....$2k aint much ( although it's alot more then it was a year ago <ggg>, but I need to grab something with it to add to my IRA.......oh well, no hurry...... Good luck......By the way, as far as rhat goes.....I am pretty close to the Research Triangle area.....RHAT is a very talked about stock/company.....just sitting in a diner, I overheard two truckers talking about buying some ( one had a son who worked for them, I believe) and about anywhere you go...the minute somebody mentions the stock market, many folks immediatly say something about rhat and how they want to buys some now......For the last 3 months, I never gave that any thought, because frankly I never thought about grabbing rhat until just recently after looking at their latest operating year....But I don find it interesting how people get interested in local companies....rhat has the whole triangle area talking about it....what does that mean.....not much at all.......but there are alot of folks looking at buying the company, especially at these levels, and especially so now after putting out such good looking numbers while everybody else is getting creamed. I did some checking to see If I could get any rumors on what big thing is on the table for rhat, but havent come up with anything substantial....most people agree with me and think maybe a big merger/alliance/buyout could be in the makings...but these are just unsubstantiated rumors......... Food for thought and discussion.....: Who would be a buyout candidate? and Why? Who would be a merger or alliance partner, and why? Could Mr. Softie be interested? Would the DOJ even allow it? What about aol......orcl......sunw.....ibm....... Keith.....wondering and waiting.........off rhat subject......there seems to be alot of positive press on the FO sector again....lots think FO is the place to be if you have a 3 year horizon or more....food for thought....have some jdsu....and will buy more if it keeps on droppping......
