re: Goldman call

It is hard to believe that Goldman has placed an accurate call given the following:

1. Semiconductor stocks are have been in an upswing since late last year. Part of this is has been PC demand.

2. PC stocks, especially Dell, have been relatively strong.

3. This is the first post Y2K quarter to show demand, and a surge should be evident.

The only logic I can see behind their call is Linux/Sun competition has eroded their share of the market, but they did not mention this.

Calls like this make me suspicious of their motives. Not saying it is a "downgrade-to-get-in" move, but minimally it is hard to support the call given the conflicting market realities and their failure to address them in their call.

Just my opinion.

Jon :)
