Ram, Maybe these Chase H&Q comments about pricing and components in the PC drive industry are also having an impact upon INVX's stock price (positively)....

* Maxtor Corporation (MXTR) $8.88 - $655MM mkt cap: While C3Q-00 Presents Challenges,
C4Q-00 Looks Stronger: Upgrading to BUY with a $12 price target.
CY00: UNCHANGED $2.7B/0.20
CY01: UNCHANGED $2.9B/0.35
We expect general softness in desktop demand, C2Q inventory builds, and lower pricing to create a
challenging scenario for Maxtor to meet C3Q-00 revenue estimates. However, semiconductor
suppliers to the drive industry have either underinvested in capacity, have yield issues, or are walking
away from business to supply alternate industries. We now believe the near simultaneous
20GB/platter ramp will produce a run on the same components, including recording heads, creating a
shortage throughout the industry. As a result, pricing should-at worst-stabilize and could-at
best-increase, driving upside as PC demand rebounds in the strongest seasonal quarter. Additionally,
we believe these shortages could accelerate the long-term industry trend towards consolidation as
larger vendor's should be able to garner greater component supply.
