the company that will be 'the protector' of technology is pretty
awesome, especially being right smack dab in the middle of where it's
all happening."
"SquareTrade is the recognized innovator in a large and growing
market -- a combination that gives it enormous growth potential,"
said Alex Leikikh, president at Mullen. "It's an exciting opportunity
