QMRK reports tomorrow and I am looking for stellar numbers; they did .03 for Q3 and .14 for 9 months. A lot going on: --they recently did an acquisition, got some nice asstes on the cheap http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/051214/20051214005112.html?.v=1 --they have a low share count, but convertible shares have been an overhanging threat; I think they are a non-issue as they represent a loan from the Roser family years ago and one of them was just appointed to the board--vested interest --they sell testing equipment to several industries, including airline (Boeing, Airbus) and electronic (Samsung) for big screen tv testing, a booming area --as I posted on SI, I look on them as a "picks and shovels" play for technology
