Rich, what do you think of Benchmark these days? I'm worried about it. Yahoo reports a very high short ratio for the company. My stock club placed a stop order on it in case it disappoints. I think there are more attractive options in the ECM sector these days.

I agree SCI is worth buying here. They are down over 25% on the HP box build weakness. NT, set top box, and Dell business is strong. They should be able to offset HP weakness to make consensus earnings. The price more than discounts a bottom line miss. Going forward the reason to own SCI is the rapid growth in its telecom and infrastructure business, not the low growing PC business. People selling off SCI because of PC business are locked in a time warp. They are missing the transition at SCI. It will require many months of solid execution before SCI will garner the multiple of FLEX but it is far oversold and discounted here. This is as good a buy as VG at 9 and SLR at 28.
