FJ - your response to me is more or less what I expect. LOL

Your ability to explain the tech is unmatched and is very valuable to many.  Your energy and wilingness to spend countless hours is both impressive and generous.

However, I am warning people, as I have for years, just because someone possesses such enviable skills, does not mean one should invest thinking the prognostacation of when those tech items will turn into cash flow are accurate - that's a different skill, and one that requires, among other qualities - a quantity of LUCK!  We haven't had much luck, unless you consider bringing Suresh on to be lucky, cuz he's given us a shot. 

All the talk about Dr. Taylor, and why he left, the knee operation, etc.  And when Subbash left, more talk about his staying in the loop - that was all a bunch of corporate speak. I'm not even sure Ajit is such a key player at this point.

I now believe that Dr. Taylor left because Suresh had decided that GaAs was not going to be the winner that all before him thought.  And that's fine, but the deification and worship were at times, overboard.  Taylor's technically brilliant, but that alone does not insure success.  Hubris sneaks in at all levels, management, scientist, and investor.  I say watch out for this.

I said I'm not selling any shares below .50 and that's my plan right now, it could change, but my current plan is also to hold most of my shares for the longer run to see if we can actually hit it out of the park.  It's possible, but it's not yet written in stone, more like an etch a sketch!  LOL

Thanks for your comments, I do look forward to reading optimistic stuff, given the number of shares I own!!
