Marc, you make a good case. I guess the only point that I can make is (purely subjective and all IMHO): Investors must be convinced that a company will explicitly set out to either gain increasing market share with revenue growth down the road (ie. Amazon.com) or participate in a growing market or customer base with few suppliers that has an overly optimistic growth forecast. cisco and celestica comes to mind. Those that you listed are not as glamourous as say the internet plays which get so much attention these days (ie. BII). BVF and COG are potentially exciting, the rest not so much IMHO. BVF - volatile and potentially lucrative growth that will continuously gyrate the stock price. I can't see anyone sitting tight with this stock. A good position trade when low. COG - a well managed co. that must first prove their non-Y2K revenue stream. ---------------------------- CRW - widespread DVD use will kickstart this one. A flatliner in stock price at best until then. ENB - don't know FTM - sit tight, they'll eventually get attention. Everyone bought those dirt devils at Costco/PriceClub and are not about to buy another vacuum so soon IMHO. MLT - where is their future growth ? CTI, ASIC, medical equipment ? CKY - don't know Regards
