Tom, thanks much for your detailed post and for the link to the spreadsheet! I downloaded it, but have not looked at it yet. To fond the spreadsheet easily, this link will work... htch.com Gottfried

HTCH's quarterly results certainly are variable, but at this price, perhaps it represents a good risk/reward profile. I'm still looking for $16, I'd be a buyer. Tom

>>Finally, its quite bothersome that Seagate has apparently still not adopted TSA suspensions. They produce a lot of drives and as long as they can do that competitively using something besides TSA suspensions a substantial technological threat remains on the horizon. If HTCH had to make it on conventional suspensions from this point they would be in the same leaky boat as the poor platter and head companies<<< I understand Seagate is using FSA from INVX instead of TSA. Do you have any info on relative merits. INVX says their FSA plus headflex and bridge flex is growing at triple digits. Rich

Tom, Thanks so much for your posts. I just bought some more HTCH today, believing that part of the reason for the sagging stock price is some tax loss selling. I think this partly because I myself have been casting about to take some losses to offset some earlier gains and HTCH was one of my candidates, in fact, my best candidate since I bought last spring in the low 30s thinking that that was good support (lasted about a week after I bought). Anyway, I think that there will be a nice bounce in January, if not before then. Whether that bounce takes us up to or past 30 which is now pretty strong resistance I don't know, we'll have to see what they say at the CC. Stop by more often. Best wishes, Sam
