Why not go on a broadband company ?
Terayon (Nasdaq: TERN) for example ???

Nishlup,

I think current Rule Maker portfolio member JDS Uniphase certainly fits the description as a "broadband" company, but that doesn't mean we couldn't go out and get another one.

As for Terayon, here is a snapshot of some of the financial data I pulled from the Hoovers website for September 1999:

Total Sales      ~$75 million (TTM)
Gross Margins    26%
Net Margins      less than 0%
Cash/Debt        No Debt!  (surprisingly)
Flow Ratio       ~3.6

Since Terayon fails the Rule Maker criterion in just about all of these categories, I think you might want to go reread the official list of Rule Maker criteria before suggesting another stock for the portfolio. The criteria can be found at the following link:

Just my two cents.
