Well, the same for Microsoft and INTEL ten years ago. At that time not many people would believe that Microsoft's broken DOS can beat UNIX, the best operation system in the world. Don't you hear so often that lots of people out there are whining that they should have bought MSFT 10 years ago? Roman is not built in a day, and there is no Roman Empire can last forever.
Anyway, we will see.

No, I don't play the lottery. *I* feel that if wall street sees ANY chance at even the slightest bit of competition, then an investment in NSM will be much more rewarding that playing the lottery.

Here's the deal:

CPUs will always drop in price. This is a rule of nature.

Intel's Celeron 366 can be had for $70 (www.pricewatch.com). Soon it will be $60, and then $40....What then? 366Mhz is more than enough system for just about all PC buyers. Mine is bigger than yours will only go so far with the consumer. Intel will only be able to replace low prices with higher speeds for so long. What happens when 1000Mhz only costs $30?

Intel WILL be forced out of the consumer PC market if they do not build a 'system-on-a-chip'. Intel WILL be forced out of the consumer PC market if they do not build a 'system-on-a-chip'.

Chipmakers will be forced to integrate in order to make money by selling chips. I'm positive that Intel is hard at work on their version of Cyrix's vision. When they announce it, Wall Street will recognize that NSM was one step ahead the whole time.

Something will happen to the stock then.
