EGHT The two analysts that follow it have it as a hold, I see. At least the numbers have turned around and they are predicting 0.20 a share next year. stockpoint.com The security business is out of my league as far as stock picking. I was a foreman at a place in Long Island where they make devices that sell to various companies like ADT and Dictograph....but as far as the profit margins and market I would not know squat. Unless the pricing is kept down, I would not see this device as a hot ticket. That is to say, I have an alarm system....if it goes off the police are there. My in-laws get a call to check it out. As a home owner away from home getting a video of my damage or lack thereof would be meaningless. Besides, the video image would require me to carry some sort of viewing device, as the technology is not yet there for computer video over a phone line....unless we are speaking of some sort of Internet hook-up. To me, it's a nice-sounding idea but I'm not certain it's cost effective enough to prompt more than a small percentage of security sales near term. Perhaps it's a nice long term hold, but again I'd like to see it "breakout" of the range first. Of course, my style is different from anyone elses.
