<<I really don't understand or believe in technical analysis>> without a rudimentary understanding, i wouldn't expect anyone to believe it. as ken indicated, a simple analysis can be the sum and substance of anyone's investment in it, if you will. even the most aggravating issue may be demystified through basic analysis. and that is precisely why i implored someone to teach me. and i guarantee my own understanding is very unsophisticated. but there are times, when combining a few factors, that the truth is revealed to you in a blazing flash . it is a workpad, a background, on which we may rely for support a and guidance. of course, when the market is erratic, these rules break down, partially or totally. but when they work, they are poetry in motion.

I think you are probably right. This is a new product that needs to prove itself in use by customers before it will gain rampant acceptance. You could wrap $100 bills around a part and offer them for $10 and that would still meet with the need for customers to gain familiarity and confidence in the parts and the company's delivery and performance. the part may make every bit of sense, but if it doesn't work in the application consistently or when "times are good" deliveries become a problem, the impact on an OEM's product manufacture can make any savings immaterial.
