I can list what I like : Profitable nice growth low pe low debt ( practically nil ) trading below book value solid management institutional ownership current and upcoming line of products/services Deals and alliances with qcom and etc..... Not a fly by night....long, established history Most of all, I like the fact that the ceo and VP have been buying shares recently on the open market. When you have a boatload already, and you buy more, it is obviously a sign you feel the stock will appreciate...or why else buy? Anyway, no telling what this little baby will do......I think over the next 3 - 5 years she could be a real good performer......short term, I havent got a clue. My dilema is I too, would like to add to my current position, I just am gun shy I guess....kind of waiting to see if she will drop into the $1's on market weakness or manipulation by those wanting to aquire at cheaper prices.........anyway, I think she has a chance to give good returns over time, but that is of course just my opinion, which isn't worth too much nowadays<ggg>..... Anyway, I think I know you good enough to know you didnt just run out and buy it on my advice...surely, you at least did some minor DD, which anybody and everybody should do before buying any stock. I just put $2k into my IRA...it aint much of course, but thats all the gov't will let me put in tax wise....right now it is cash....been debating what to do with it....not much I can do with only $2k...was debating on some extr or ntap if they drop some......maybe orcl.....also thought about buying up some gems...I mean, hell, it's only $2k, what the hell am I gonna do with it, ya know....... Good luck......I will be buying more gems if she approaches $2, and more if she approaches $1...then, I will tuck it away and see what happens. keith
