Possibly best positioned co. in storage & consumer optics. CSCO & LOGI are firing on all cylinders and are two of FNSR's biggest customers. 12/2/2006 -- tough qtrly report for FNSR. But YOY growth still very solid, co. is still very well positioned and production problems should ease in the coming qtr's. Would add in the low $3's/high $2's as Technicals have turned slightly negative shorter term.

12/8/06 -- competitor ANDW gets an upgrade today. Both PWAV and ANDW have been trashed due to wireless carrier consolidation. Not many big co's left to merge anymore and spending has been pent up due to mergers. PWAV could go to double digits on 2 solid qtr's in a row.

Very beaten down comm. chip stock. Selling at 2 times cash. Weakness in Asian markets have caused recent plunge. Possibly one more tough qtr., but new orders in 2007 could boost shares. 12/13/06 - CTLM strength could potentially rub help. I feel IKAN's chip tech is much better than CTLM's.

3/22/07 -- adding to this holding. Sold ONXX Cable infra. play. Rumor of TERN.pk buyout could be catalyst. CCUR does not have as good a balance sheet as most of my holdings, but it's not terrible and I view it as a superior co. to TERN.

TERN.pk buyout rumors could help several portfolio holdings. SEAC ARRS CCUR

James -- this could be long discussion. Briefly, my own criteria I use P/B, PSR, P/cash flow & P/Net Cash & Investments -- all on relative valuation basis by sector.

I prefer GARP to pure deep value but will have 20-50% of my portfolio invested in pure deep value names. Even then I want to feel that there will be a resumption of Rev/Eps growth at some point. Or some catalyst to get the shares moving.

For example, COMS was deep value, now more of GARP name. USU MRVC ONXX PWAV IKAN are deep value. ARRS & FDRY are close and the rest are GARP.

For large cap names, AAPL was a classic deep value name until late 2004/2005. On my relative criteria YHOO has been skirting the edge of deep value with their huge investment portfolio & balance sheet strength.

Though INSP is classic deep value in that space, but lot of hair on that name.

If you don't think SPWR is grossly overvalued then CY is in the deep value realm and certainly was their $5 ago or lower. I still feel CY is deep value name.

How do you define deep value?

SEAC -- hit a nice EPS call. Would encourage anyone interested in the cable/telco sector to listen to call.

Lots of value on the balance sheet and improving Rev. trends.

good qtr. from OPTM could benefit a few co's on this list.
