- What better opportunities do you see, and why are they good?
- (I see any of the high tech choices as being better :)
-
- I liked the choice SoftwareTools that was suggested in Barrons.
- They suggested buying it and praying for a "Miracle" (they
- make the miracle piano). Apparently after a number of years of losses
- they actually managed to make some money recently, thus
- grossly exceeding analyst's expectations :)
-
- (In case people missed the smiley, I'm not seriously recommending
- this stock. It may be a good investment but too risky).
