Shege and all - The exposure of Demo98 is clearly significant for Broc, if only because it is such an underfollowed company. Speaking of which, what is you guys' take on the analyst situation - I got this from Zacks: Consens. Estimate for cur. Fiscal Year $-.17 p/s Fiscal Year End 12/97 Consens. Estimate for next Fiscal Year $-.11 p/s Next Fiscal Year End 12/98 Consens. Estimate for cur. Quarter $0.02 p/s Current Quarter 12/97 Actual Earning Last Quarter $0.01 p/s EPS Surprise Last Quarter 99 % Rank Within Industry 228 of 320 Their estimate is that Broc will be losing money this year, which seems to me kind of unlikely, with the stringent cost controls the new management has put in place, and a good suite of products. My point is that if Broc gets some attention, analysts might catch on and revise their estimates. Or maybe they won't, but just buy some for themselves while the price is good. The price of a stock reflects anticipation, not simply earnings. Kailash
