My computer blew up last week and all I had was the local newspaper. I would not own this volital stock(beta 1.8) if it were not for the internet. Sounds simple minded but watching my investment lose 10% or 20% without BAY's PR and SI's candid analysis would send me knee jerking to CSCO . Joe Sixpack buys CSCO cause it's lumped with MSFT and INTC(as was mentioned twice last week in the local rag). BAY's exposure to new investors by any other means than the internet is limited. Hopefully that will slowly change.
I agree with you 100%.The stock is behaving normally IMO. Impulsive. Moody. Volital. Just like the OLD BAY management team. I've seen BAY lose 30% in two weeks(Oct. 97) but I've seen it gain 30% in one week(May 1997). I would describe new BAY management as solid, respectable and conservative . Polar opposite? IMO This stock will not correlate to the new BAY management until House has one entire FY underneath his belt or late summer.
other points
1. BAY was back-end loaded Q3'97 and took a similar dive as Bosco mentioned.
2. As you mentioned BAY just needs to make .01 more EPS than last quarter. Since Q4'97 they have grown minimum of .05 per quarter. Do you think that markdowns on the older switches will be greater than the $40M to 60M new revenue from the Accelular line?
3. Intel's emphasis on networking is basically saying that BAY is in the chip business . IMO the software side could be considered a lucrative commodity but hardware dominance is still very much up for grabs. RSP? I rate INTC as likely a suitor as LU. But that and a cup of coffee gets you ..
4. When fund managers comfortly realize that House talks low but delivers higher as INTC has done( for the last 10 years only), then we will see longer term buying and less rumor selling.

thanks for you analysis.
