Mike, for what it's worth, Dan Scoval is an ex employee of Cirrus. He was in the sales/marketing department with emphasis on the Japan sales. The only reason I am stating this is that Dan certainly knows the market and is a good source of information. Calvin Scott

Mike, Fahnestock's Research page is very limited and in pdf format. They currently have only 4 stocks on their site, but there should be a way to get older recs. I'll check tomorrow. But they first liked the stock at 16-17 and it ran to low 20's as I recall, and I first looked at it seriously yesterday, and picked up Apr 5 calls today. I don't think the old research means much after today's move. But some products were introduced this week with S3 components and I wouldn't be surprised if S3 held off announcement for their customers' competitive advantages. When was the conference call? Bernie
