"Salomon Smith Barney analyst Jonathan Joseph"...another overpaid and underbrained analyst trying to make a name for himself? Time will tell but my money is betting that he will follow the footsteps of Rick Whittington, Tom Kurlak, etc. For someone I never heard of he sure created a stampede!

Interesting article. That bit about tantalum capacitors was kind of strange. The only instance I've seen of them catching fire was when one was installed incorrectly (reverse polarized) and jumped off the circuit board in flames. Calling them "a part used in memory chips" is kind of strange, too.
