Bean - You're right. JMAR is perceived as a "disk drive" stock since most all of their revenue comes from the disk drive inspection systems they sell. When the DD stocks do poorly - as they have this year - stocks closely related to them do poorly. People aren't looking at JMAR's other businesses - specialty chip design, XRL, etc. because they haven't produced much revenue so far (although the chip business has started to "kick in"). So until JMAR shows that it can produce revenue from its other businesses - such as selling a Britelight system - the stock probably won't move much. Betty

If it were not for JMAR, the disk drive manufactures, especially IBM would not have the high quality drives that they do. Jmar makes the inspection equipment for the heads on the drives. IBM is Jmars biggest customer and IBM is the largest producer of HD in the world, selling more than 1/2 the drives sold last year I believe. JMAR is the reason IBM has the success in the HD market that it does. IBM .92 efficiency off the assembly line vs .3 for most other HD makers. But, that is only one part of JMAR.
