Took a long position today as the technicals are flashing a buy signal. Volume was about 160% of the daily norm and think we have room to move to the $23 level as a first target.

In the Pipeline by Linley Gwennep EETimes 5/21/01 pg 47 Encryption costs tumble If you like your privacy, you’ll like what the latest encryption technology will do for you. With interest in Internet encryption rising, a number of vendors are jumping into the encryption chip market, which Dataquest projects will surge to $750 million by 2004. The competition is producing a wave of innovation that is driving down costs. Last year, the majority of Internet encryption chips came from a single company, HiFn. By next year, at least 10 vendors will be shipping such chips. Last year, the few vendors in the market focused on LAN and access equipment, offering chips with system throughput of up to 80 Mbits/sec. But earlier this year, Broadcom pushed the speed to 300 Mb/s, and that company is now sampling a 2.5 Gb/s device. By the middle of next year, both Broadcom and startup Corrent will be producing 10 Gb/s chips. HiFn and others will not be far behind in performance. As a result, over a span of less than two years, the market will have seen a stunning leap of more than 100x in encryption speed…… Jim (FYI,no position in HIFN)
