I still own several of sfe companies. I bought catp but before the last big drop so my timing was terrible. Did the same Dtpi. My large positions are tellabs and scai. I think scai has all the pieces in place to become a huge gainer. I have added to my holdings of it each time it dropped below 20. I now have as much of it as I plan to allocate. Tellabs is a stock I have owned for a long time and I added to it in the high 30 area. When I sold the last of my sfe, I promised myself I would keep it in cash until I saw signs of a turn around and/or a bottoming of stocks. Every time I have jumped in with excess cash so far the stocks I purchased have been bombed. The major problems with catp that I have read about are as follows: 1. Problems with employee turnover and finding employees. 2. Aggressive accounting and questions of problems because of it. 3. A conference call stating grow would be slowing. That said I bought the stock at 31 and thought I had a good price. Terrible timing on my part. Hope this information helps. Good luck. Robert D.
