Huh, holding on a day after a 30% plus gain day? Could that be a good thing? Especially on a summer friday, when the traders pull their dollars and usually drive the market down. The visitation of a short with a strong voice? Another sign of a bottom? Huh, I wonder if this is about to take-off on one or many of those 9 qualification that were in process according to management in the last Conference Call? What to do...Bought today at $7.25!!! Count days people, (sorry, could be that I am a CFO type who knows when reports are due) last quarter's Form 10-Q will be due by Friday. You want to bet they got the covanent issue covered by then? I expect the report will be full of conservative comments, but I also expect that the banks will be happy and the debt cloud will be lifted. I want to go back to $12, I'll take $10, by the end of next week!!! Dennis

Judy, I know you asked Zeev but, if you don't mind I will throw in 2 cents. IMO there is only one way you would see a good return on APM and that would be if they were bought out. There have been some rumors floating around that Samsung has rekindled an interest in the company but I now suspect that the rumor lacks merit. Samsung is a hamstrung Korean chaebol with sparse cash to go on a spending spree such as they did 3 years ago. APM's problem is systemic. They failed to convert to MR soon enough and are now playing catch up in a very unforgiving market. I just don't think a recovery is in the cards for this one. As always, you should do your own research and all the above is my humble opinion only. Best, Stitch
