Over the last two weeks, there have been more and more confusing posts in this thread.

However, most of these quarrels fall into 4 categories:

1. How is FIBR's product?
2. How large is their market ?
3. How is FIBR's management?
4. How is FIBR'S financial situation?

but we miss one important point:

5. How do we evaluate the importance of these 4 question?

I put some weight factor on them:

(Product 30%) + Market/competition (30%) + management (30%) + finance situation (10%)
=100%

reason:
Osicom is a small hi-tech company, management isn't as important as that in IBM or MSFT, and their finance situation stands for history, but I am investing on tomorrow.

any comment is appreciated.
