You got to buy a Roomba to fully understand why this is a good pick. Excellent DOD contracts, mean IRBT is never going to hurt. Even if the democrats completely strip the military budget in 2008, robots will still be funded well because it'll promote less american casualties. The vacumn cleaners are solid pieces of construction, and make an excellent gift, your recievers will love them, and spend an inordinate amount of time anthropomorphizing them. This stock is in the basement currently, lot of options were exercised last year. Take this one while it's low, because this company can only go up or get bought out by something big. Financially, the company is growing very solidly, so no danger of it tanking and you losing your shirt. One of the higher risk ventures in my portfolio, but definitely one of the potentially better returns once the public takes notice and the company capitalizes on innovative ways to drive robots into the public domain. Look for a big return in 5 years IMO.
