BB A comment from the latest "Contary Investor" that goes the roots of the problem facing OS stocks now. A discussion of some widely accepted myths. " Commodity raw materials are in a state of permanent oversupply. We're not talking about the rampant consumption and waste. We're talking about the investment mindset. It's amazing that when DRAMs are in short supply for one month that Micron more than doubles. In like manner, despite the huge upward move we've have seen this year in oil, the service stocks are nowhere near there highs of the last few years. It's as if the market perceives there is a shortage of servers, chips, PC's and routers. Quite the opposite folks. As the global economy picks its head up off the floor, commodity raw material prices can only head higher. Inevitably, commodity raw materials are finite in supply. Unfortunately, that's a long term view. Of no use in a short term world."
