NEON AMAT don't know if you recall, last mid-December, I was playing AMAT, I didn't know whether it was a hold (with a 2 to 3 dollar loss) with the "buy on dip" mentality or not. With little to no feedback, I did sell it for a loss, only to see it gap up and continue on it way to where it is now at 60. well now I have found another company ... that I have done some "valuation" reading on, that company is NEON, New Era of Networks It will not stay in the low 40's for very long, I have started to accumulate now, buying at friday's close. I have traded it several times in the last few weeks. Did not hold through earnings as I have (a real fear and loathing of the "unknown") NEON Business Summary New Era of Networks, Inc. develops, markets, and supports application integration software and provides application integration services.
