To all: With any rapid rise of this or any other stocks on little or no news, and with a stock of this "potential"(soon to be realized), SHORTS will appear. The thread is full if you go back far enough and follow the likes of Johnny W(entertaining but short), Skeptic, Richard S. and now Patrick Booth. I respect their positions and tolerate their manipulations. Newbies also have to tolerate the exaggerations of market exuberance, do their own DD because if you don't you will be manipulated by everyone, long and short. As for Patrick, excellent questions but all prefaced upon this: "I talked with a number of the companies I deal with about the embedded systems issue and what they are doing about it. Not surprisingly they are aware and they are doing something about it. Across the whole market some companies will be early, some average and some late to address the problem. My discussions, and other info on what is happening confirm that we are a reasonable way into the cycle." Patrick is indeed NOT an embedded systems expert nor does he have contacts throughout the industry which are at all "representative" of the embedded systems environment. IT/IS is well underway but embedded systems are far from being recognized even to a "reasonable way" at this time. In fact, the company has repeatedly stated that revenues would appear in this third quarter in all of their CCs. This quarter will tell re revenues. Go long, go short, but do your own DD. Jack, Cheryl, Tim, or even TMex are in no way financially obligated to do you any services. They are great resources but it is up to the thread to work this out themselves.. Either that, or hire a broker and let them invest in the Fortune 100 for you. BTW, price rise plus shorts, plus complaints about Scott L. always= NEWS. LOL!!! Stephen
