To all-- I have been investing in stocks, successfully, for over 40 years, and have been following ORBI for 5-6 years. I like this stock but I am concerned when a thread becomes masturbatory. Picking a stock should be no different from picking a dentist. You try to avoid emotion and see who gives the best performance. I have found that emotion gets in the way with reason. I posted a similar note on the Applied Materials thread and was flamed. Many of the people were high as the stock went up five-fold and had committed everything to options. When the stock dived, they were not to be heard from. The news is very good for ORBI, but I also welcome bad news as being very valuable to an investor. Perhaps more valuable than positive news because threads seek to reassure the investor and be skewed to the positive. In ORBI's case, I am concerned about the exhuberance. good investing--- fred
