True enough. Markets are forward-looking, but not necessarily right.

It's pretty funny what they consider a recovery in HDs these days. A 4th quarter uptick with moderating price declines? Hello? Historically, there is ALWAYS a 4th quarter uptick. With NO price declines. NONE. Hmmm...

As for lower inventories, the $64,000 question is whether they come from excess demand or production cutbacks. How well do production cutbacks work in curtailing price declines? I dunno. Ask the oil companies.

BWDIK, Micron is bleeding cash and is poised to trade up to those halcyon $17 eps days.
