You are welcome. I enjoyed listening and learning, so am thankful that you posted about the interview.

This stock came up recently in a scan for me, so am getting familiar with it. I like the chart setup.

In the interview Mr. Solms touched on TPM. With security being an ongoing issue for everyone, it was interesting to hear about TPM - Trusted Platform Module authentication, which is apparently already being installed in many computers, but isn't used yet.

It burns in keys into chips during production and then creates a summary of the software and hardware and keys to verify that the device has not been altered. From what I understand, this information is then passed on along with the user's ID and password to add an extra layer of security.

Mr. Solms also talked about self encrypting hard drives and the fact that if a computer is lost or stolen, the fact that it is encrypted automatically, means that a healthcare company for example, doesn't have to report the information as being lost or stolen because it cannot be viewed. Or something along those lines, if I heard correctly, and would let them off the hook from being liable for restitution of costs associated with data misuse. I'm not sure how valid that is, but its interesting.

Your thoughts on this company?
