Vector1,

You used to think highly of AFFX. If memory serves the model used to own it, and sold it for a tidy gain last year. In the face of standardization issues in the biochip marketplace, a swarm of little competitors, and errors in the murine arrays, AFFX has swooned.

Message 15719744

I feel that in the tools industry consumables are still OK, but big ticket items are iffy for a few quarters, with the exception of mass spectrometers. AFFX's products aren't big ticket items individually, but regular use would be equivalent.

I submit most of this is priced in, and that AFFX is a buy should it retest its lows (expecting broad market pullback before end of spring). Do you and/or your audience have any thoughts on this wounded gorilla?

Cheers, Tuck
