Mike, BIKE was hammered about a month ago---here's the take from your favorite analysts -g-: fnews.yahoo.com I was long out of this one, but keeping an eye on it. Under 16 (like today) it looks pretty cheap. I'd probably do my DD and buy in again, except that I have some qualms about owning a company that is expanding into off-road motorcycles. (Not so much financial qualms, as environmental ones---not that there aren't plenty of places that are fine to give over to such activities, but they can sure damage some nice places fast---I've been to one or two in the Mojave Desert.) Of course, it also makes sport wheelchairs just to tip the balance back towards the PC side of things -g-. Next move, off-road sport wheelchairs? May give it a go anyway (you know, if they weren't selling them, someone else would be.... rationalize, rationalize, rationalize...). Good company, good products, seems to have a good business plan and management, and is expanding into new markets, with a 10 P/E. And nothing to do with chips! Just thought I'd give you and the rest of the Burkite/Mohanite/Luddite crowd -g- a heads-up, since you said you liked it 30% below the current price when it was trading in the low twenties. Oh yeah, portfolio notes I'm sure you'll jump on: I bought a teensy third of Brooks Automation (BRKS) yesterday in the low 13's, and got back into Pharmacyclics (PCYC) at the bargain -g- price of 24 3/4. Everyone's gotta find their own way of buying the top! At least I've got plenty of cash to do it with. Cheers, HB
