*** Off Topic *** Your opinion on DD sector ***

akidron,

AMAT has alot going for it - good company, positive earnings to come out, and a commanding position in its business. I was not too amazed to see the stock bounce up.

I have been watching the disk drive sector. Unlike AMAT they have had a lot of bad news from the standpoint of very strong competitive pressures - they are all making the same thing and pushing it out to the market as fast as they can. I think that todays bounce, which carried over into DD makers might be a false start for this group.

I am wondering if you might have any thoughts on when it would be good to jump into the likes of WDC, QNTM, SEG, KMAG, RDRT, IOM etc. The only "tools" that I might use would be simple TA based on 200 day averages and the like. I would consider this a short term < 1 yr play.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Michael
