Agreed its a huge buying opportunity. As long as inventory is really under control, the 3Q write off should clear all of the uglies (HC reductions, etc.) and set this up for success. I just wish I'd gotten rid of my first position, took a small loss and then got back in here instead of averaging down in the $23-$24 range. How can you predict that someone is going to let OPEX run away at a $900 MM clip? Unbelievable - they should be cutting more than just the SVP heads for this kind of foolishness. Real internal controls people can tell who's out of control and those big expense $$$ offenders should be out to. I cant believe they were all just missing budget targets across the board. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! They better find a CFO who can count!!!
