Dave, xlnt analysis of RACN, a stock I first bought 1 1/2 years ago, and have traded it ever since.
I currently have shares, and it has had an amazing run, especially since the Sept. dump, but I think the fundamentals of the market-place may begin to catch up to the stock price.
I guess it depends on the collecting consumer, and I have talked to people who are in the biz, and the pipeline is starting to get somewhat clogged.
So, it is a good time to take profit, the easy money has been made, for me anyway.
I might even short it..

Take a look at HSR, a micro-cap that makes fusing devices for the military, along with products that are used for rocket/missle stage seperations, via NASA, military, etc.
Not many companies worldwide that make this stuff, and with the huge military build-up, this is an easy buy & hold.
They also make the goods for ejection seats.
