Hey John,

You're funny :o)

I'm gonna toss a couple "wild guesses" out on your trivia, which is very good by the way.

5-year:

VTSS - Vitesse comes in at about 3400% gain
SMTC - Semtech comes in at about 2800% gain
UNPH - Uniphase gets honorable mention (technically not the same anyways)

3-month (I hope you'll permit a little deviation):

CREE - Cree Research comes in with a 250% gain (WOWZA!!!)
SMTC - Semtech comes in with a 105% gain

I guess your trivia DOES reveal one nice little fact doesn't it? Whether it is short-term or long-term you are looking for, SMTC DOES provide good investing opportunities. The percentage numbers were estimated, I'm not at a computer right now where I can do the math.

Conclusion:

1. Platinum managment
2. Hiring the best engineers

Oops, almost forgot, i left those 2 10,000 blocks for you this morning, I'm full for the moment. Good to see you didn't let them spoil. Did you notice, were those upticks on buys John, my guess is that they were?

Regards, JB

P.S. Good to see you Kelvin :o)
