Quick question that's probably been covered From Motley Fool Today: I am not sure if I'm alone in this, but I personally think the 3Dfx (Nasdaq:TDFX - news) is an investment that holds little chance of outperforming the market, given that the history of graphics chips companies holds no examples of companies that have built sustainable competitive advantages. I've written as much and I've also detailed how the company's earnings are inflated by the lack of an income tax provision (due to net operating loss carryforwards). ------------------- His "Details" was from early June regarding their previous quarter earnings which we all know was inflated about .15 cents per share. My only question is, was the recently posted quarter also inflated by the same tricks used in the prior quarter? While I agree that in the past graphic chip makers have never sustained a competitive advantage, I firmly believe TDFX will prove to be the acception, and continue to hold my $24 shares.
