Wow Richard,

A $299 PC, that is amazing. The margin contraction would
be a serious blow to most PC manufacturers. It should
increase sales of software in the consumer market
(Perhaps ERTS, THQI, SEVL and a few others I
can't remember off the top of my head. I am trying
to work on a list of companies to examine for
Christmas software releases.) and give MSFT
a boost especially since it does not appear to
have any killer applications coming out soon.

Here are two stories I found on another thread:

The first one is on PWAV. They make power amplifiers
for the wireless market. I don't agree with the accessment
of the story though.They may make their number this Q,
but the overcapacity that Clint mentioned on the handset
side and the margin squeeze on the infrastructure side
due the agressive bidding by companies like LU, ERIC.Y,
NOK.A , NEC, and NT in Brazil and the slow roll out
of Japan should affect there earnings going forward.

Other possible candidates that might get hurt in the
fallout are ANEN, ANAD, and TQNT. I am still working
on a list of others in order to look more closely
at their fundamentals.

The second story is a comparison between this year
and 1928. I don't think I agree as the conditions
are not the same. We don't have a speculative
economy that is expanding at a great rate. There
is inflation of stock assets, but I don't see
it anywhere else. It is an interesting story though.

I see Techie is posting again on the Dell thread. She
does have a way of stirring things up. It is good to
see her back, if only in a limited way.
