re: aren't overly concerned with stock appreciation for the shareholders. They do not care, the only care about the technology, they do not want to use there stock for anything, like raising money or buying another company. They have big daddy INTC doing all the dirty work for them. They act like they have monopoly. Greg

Management has stock and options, and therefore must be interested in the stock price. Perhaps they just have a longer time horizon than some of the posters on this thread, and don't want to see the stock get too speculative so early in the game. Excessive hype isn't good for long term investors. In this heady market it's easy to forget that in the long run stock price has to be based on facts about the company. I'm not annoyed at management - more realistic stock prices can give me a better entry point if I want to increase my position. The real question with this company is how fast RDRAM will be brought into the mainstream,and how much profit can they make assuming 50% of the PC market.

PMJI. Could be that employee options prices setting is driving mgt to keep the price low. Usually, as employees come on board, and (in some cases) as their shares vest, the option price set based on price at that date or month range. Could be that mgt wants to keep the price "down" for as long as possible, then let it run up for more profit. FWIW
