My hope is to ride this to $20 and higher over the next 2 to 4 years...or maybe hold some of my position 10 years or more.
I really think this is a sapling that can grow to be a mighty oak.
I used to own KLAC, which seemed like a no-brainer given that it seemed very predictable that semiconductors were going to be smaller and smaller, requiring more and more technical inspection equipment. It seemed to be a leveraged investment in semis -- and it worked out super well. Not sure why I was ever dumb enough to sell my KLAC...
Anyway, I like to think about how to find large, durable trends of above average growth and then think about what would be growing even faster than these fast trends. Or, at least, when I stumble on a stock (a friend recommended DAIO), I like to see if it matches up on this dimension. DAIO really matches up being at the intersection of 3 fast-growing trends.

There's an interesting conversation on DAIO over at Yahoo.
I think the gist of it is that DAIO stumble a little bit with the ease of use of Sentrix. But they are now poised to grab significant market share, not just in autos, but in the larger IoT chip market. IF they can do that, the current market cap is just nonsense.
If they are providing a critical part of security for the chips associated with companies worth, say a trillion dollars (and they just announced integrating with 2 companies worth $45B each this week, on top of additional major auto manufacturers), then they are not going to have a market cap of $30M or $40M.
I'm now up 15 percent, but I'm going to try to be relaxed and patient even a year from now when I'm up 150 percent. This is a sapling I want to see grow into a mighty oak in 5-10 years time. Why the heck not $20?

Well, I've been adding more today. To my eyes, DAIO is seeing orders come in stronger, they have revenues coming back, they SAID that the auto cycle was bottoming (i.e., direction now is up), and they cleared out a bunch of their various items, such as the foreign currency holdings, so as to prepare for a return to profitability next quarter.
The selling here is absurd. Why hold this if you are going to sell at $3.30 when the news is actually starting to look really good?? Bizarre.
So, I bought more.
