In all honesty ... I think you (and all of us) have missed the boat on
this unbelievable run-up. This stock was 6 1/4 a little more than a
week ago, closed today 23 1/4 or so. I don't think it has much further
to go since its not making ANY money. All this hype is because its
working with US ROBOTICs and now everybody thinks it a internet play.

| .1 is correct, it's being considered an Internet play.
The reason is the company has developed a high-speed modem for
use over cable TV lines. I believe it's not just uni-direction,
but bi-directional also.
I've been bit once before trying to catch a stock that was going
up like this, and once was enough. Investing in Zenith right at
this moment I'd considered high risk (though it is a NYSE issue
I believe, and one could probably min. loss with stop-loss order,
or watch the stock VERY closely).

| U.S. Robotics was mentioned in this string. I just got out of
my U.S. Robotics position after I made a good $35 per share gain
in the last month. Perhaps I got out too early.

| Stop loss: suppose you jumped on the bandwagon and bought Zenith at
$22, but were worried about it dropping suddenly (like it did).
You could have put in a "stop loss" at $20, for example, that limits
your downside risk. If the stock went below $20, like it did today,
theoretically you would have sold at $20 (or $19.something).
Note that this doesn't always work as intended... overnight news
such as a rotten earnings report issued after the market closes can
cause a stock to open the next day well below your stop loss.

A stop loss order is converted to a market order when the price is
reached. There is no guarantee of the price you will get.

.7 said that (in the 2nd P which you didn't quote w/the 1st P :-)
In any any case, there are two kinds of stop-loss orders, stop-loss
market orders, and stop-loss limit orders. The latter turns into
a limit order when the stock price drops to the limit price. This
gives you a guarantee of a min. price, but with the higher risk that
you'll not get an execution.

People, come on. Don't give relative price quotes w/out also
giving the absolute price. 2 1/2 months later and now your
note is useless!
Now back to the topic :-) As I warned in .1, this stock appears
to of given back most of what it gained since this string
of notes were written. Well today it's in a simliar position
to what it was in when .0 was written. Either they announced
or the rumor is that they have a $3B deal to provide a very
large number of their TV top units for something or another.
And they also announced they will be building a new plant to
build very large picture tubes (guess they don't believe flat
screen tech. will be here anytime soon :-(().
