For example: market gains MIPS gains, market loses MIPS loses also. Therefore I have to say that I agree with this decision made by TheStreet. A HUGE think to pay attention to though is that MIPS has a debt-to-equity rate of zero. In simple words,  THEY OWE NO MONEY! Unlike other companies we know...
