Skeeter, just a note to say that the average SI thread is very bullish
and will thrash anyone short. I think your reasoning is at least sound.
I've thought the same thing about channel stuffing for some time, though
am now starting to question that a bit. Though Kurlacks history of
timing semi stocks has been quite shoddy for some time now.

FWIW, I made money a number of times on vlsi this year being short
and EVERY time I mentioned it to the thread got emotionaly slammed
by the vast majority. I only got in trouble when I let them persuade
me I was wrong.

The biggest question above all others is 'how far can added liquidity
take this market?'

Who makes the most extreme cases: bulls or bears? I'll admit the
bears can be quite nasty, but bulls can be equally in lala land.
And when one side is right, the other side does completely disappear.

Anyway, I see that you are the reason I haven't been thrashed more
for being short...., thanks

merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, good cheer to all
-Kevin

ps. I'm net long the market and have had a great year.
