TSRA - since I sold it 20% lower, obviously I'm not interested in buying it 20% higher.

I bought it mostly on the patent-buyout wave, hoping this would lift it too. It didn't.
I don't have strong opinion about its patents or numbers. Expansion to optical was probably diworsefication trying to spend the cash they got from semi packaging.

Possible outcomes:
- Buyout.
- They develop new tech/patents and get a boost from that.
- Their current tech falls by wayside with no replacement
- They buy even more cos/tech to expand

It is somewhat attractive at $10-12 level, since cash provides the downside protection as long as they don't spend it on acquisitions. At current levels it really becomes a speculation on the success of their business.
