Dwight,

These analysts are just completely clueless when it comes to techs. Techs are perhaps the most fluid of any of the major industry groups (other than maybe utilities, but I still say techs).

The problem is techs (or people buying technical gadgets) are completely optional. You need heat and light.. but you don't NEED a new computer (unless you have a 486-25sx or earlier ;-) ).

The analysts just can't change and adapt fast enough. Most of them were trained in the old school markets, before the advent of modern style high-tech firms. They are incapable of dealing with short product life-cycles, correctly estimating inventory build-ups etc.

Face it.. unless you concentrate on tech and ONLY tech, you will never be in a good position to comment on it.. and most of the analysts have their hands in so many pots they can't keep track.

Steve
