Took a while to get traction with their technology. Revenues in last quarter quite good, up a lot. Hold onto it and think about adding more. Thinks that someday they may partner up with a tier 1 company, and if they do, the stock will multiply.
(A Top Pick August 21/2017, Up 16%). Pipelines are weighing on sentiment. Just finished a big cycle of cap spending, so this frees up cash flow to pay higher dividends.

A pillar of the advertising community, because it’s easy to spend ad money on Facebook. His issue with social media platforms is that people stop using them. FB has stature and management quality. Thinks you’re OK to own it, because it’s not going out of business.
It’s gone up, it’s gone down. Revenues are small, but growth rate is high. They have an online piece (software), but the offline piece is highly coveted. Could be an IP claim, where someone buys them just for the IP. They’re flush with cash.
