Of course they are vunerable to any down

That separates it from the frothy speculative stocks thathave made the news recently. A falling tide drops all boats but thesolid ones come back up.

I just had too much on myplate to investigate the other one. ===Akoustis is tiny by comparison and a good deal riskier. They werebasically just a R&D operation until their recent contract. Supposedlythey have a superior RF filter technology however and the patents toback it up. 5G and IOT devices are going to need a lot of filterseventually.

I'd be more than a little concerned about technology products.
China is already putting the squeeze on silicon.

We still lead the world in design and innnovation. Fabrication is
falling behind however with Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) currently in
the lead.
