FWIW, MPRS ranks #1 on my ROI estimates spreadsheet with an annualized expected return of 67% ... leading about 30 stocks quite handily. I'm using a 50% averaged confidence level between two outcomes: upside = 1.5 -> 4 within 0.75 years = 167% upside downside = 1.5 -> 2 within 0.75 years = 33% upside Upside case calls for success in several new games spiking a seasonal or cyclical high later this year. Downside case calls for no major new signs, at which point I bail with a random volitility gain if I become convinced the management/vision/execution has become inert. Position bailpoint would probably be in Aug-Sep timeframe. Also, I would trade around any split action whose outcome was not absolutely understood, which for this stock would probably mean ANY action. Other winners on my balanced ROI list include: VLNC, ASND, KIWT, BAY, ADPT, ALKM ... the creamiest upside/downside balances. As you might guess, I only consider myself a reasonable guesser re networking, PC components, and games. I'll be buying more MPRS ...
