Neither 3dfx, nor anyone else, can give earnings estimates for next year. 3dfx is spending the money now, for a powerful, and comprehensive product family next year. It's a whole new game with the OEM market. We'll now have many new markets (Business OEM, gaming OEM, gaming legacy upgrade, and high-end gaming) by march next year. This will result in whole new revenue streams, while still maintaining some of the traditional bread-and-butter money earners. I see nothing but good things ahead.
If 3dfx didn't spend its money on R&D, I would dump this stock in 5 mins, and never look back. The future of 3dfx is in the evolution of its products and future returns,not in making a quick buck this year. |
