I very much agree, Chaz; the seasonality of the computer business pretty much guarantees it. But I'm in a quandary, since Q may not adhere to that seasonality. One good news day could push qcom to the 175 range, and two could see it getting dangerously close to 200. A split is certainly in the near future as well. I don't see any reasonable way to hedge the Q, but would appreciate suggestions.

Re ntap, a great company, but I never have been able to differentiate it from emc so I could assign it a separate sector, and to make things worse, Big Blue seems to be getting more aggressive in this space. Ntap could be vulnerable as the big boys bash it out.

btw, I see in the next post that you rate emc as a Gorilla. I don't think we ever reached consensus on that. I'd be interested in your reasoning.
