timba, for what it is worth I strongly dislike CATS.

In my opinion, it is a small commodity chip producer, that spends far less than peers on R&D as a percent of sales (the lifeblood of such a company), with major, recent insider selling at the current price level. I suspect earnings have largely evaporated at this point, and much of cash flow as well. If I am going to invest in a commodity producer, in any industry, I want the biggest and strongest, not a small, weak one.

Three stocks I am watching but don't own are MONI, SBL and SFA. Any informed views are welcome.

Thanks for mentioning those 3 dividend payers, TimbaBear. I'll pass on them for now in favor of larger-caps that are paying dividends and that are selling at low (imo) prices also. In this market, I feel a little safer with larger companies. Not that that is right or the best tactic - but in the market of the past two days, I'd just want to feel that there's a little more security with bigger companies.

I'll check back later on CVR, CHMP, APL.
