Depressed due to financials needing reworked due to option backdating issues and danger of delisting. Should rebound later in the year; lots of products in the pipeline and QSFT will sail through 1/2 billion this year

This stock will not get over 13.99/share until after the buyback. The timeframe depends on the buypack price b/w 12.00 and 14/00, but it will slowly move up.
