              Wise words spoken below!!.
      This company trades on a high p.e, has had rave reviews lately,
darling of the analysts etc. In short , overbought.  The yield isnt
particularly
attractive, and for a company  with so called  "few competitors, alarm bells
ring
when they start losing contracts.
            Be wary of seeing the new lower price as a bargain, they have
had a very
good run up,  but imho should not be considered unless dipping to below 4.00
