Paul: The stock dropped due to an announcement that earnings would not meet estimates for the present quarter. I came across it on the losers list when looking for short candidates. I could hardly believe this stock was down that much based on the texture of the release. From the best I can understand, the shortcoming is related to the recent aquisition of Trend Circuits and also costs related to realigning their factories sooner than expected in order to meet very strong demand for it's products. The company is dirt cheap and is one of the few companies in the tech field who can claim to have more business than it can handle. Especially during a time when several competitors have announced a slowdown. I certainly would not consider shorting this company, but have a mind to buy this thing while it is at these prices. According to management, the shortcoming will be confined solely to the present quarter. This stock was over-punished dramatically considering what was really said in their press release. It may have something to do with the fact that it quite thinly traded due to 80 % insider ownership. Joe
