Bought on a dip. Wall Street is pricing Garmin like it's going to stop growing and eventually fade into irrelevance. I do understand the fear...the company is somewhat of a one-trick pony, relying on one line of technology for its revenue, and that line of technology could be replaced (think HD radio with GPS technology built-in, or the increasing number of cell phones that have GPS). Despite these threats, there is still a point where the stock just seems too cheap. All of the fear is factored in, Garmin has a strong balance sheet and a powerful history of innovation, margins are superb, and cash flow exceeds GAAP earnings. Garmin would really have to suffer a complete destruction of its business for the stock not to be a bargain at these levels, and while I see that it faces competitive threats, I don't feel that they're severe enough to justify selling the stock down to its current price.
