What a buying opp today! Went shopping in the 13s, never thought I'd see that again. No complaints, as long as it's temporary! REDI flipped to the bid to buy some blocks later in the day, the shorts were testing earlier to see if they could push it down. INCA kept putting up blocks on the ask every 1/4 point or so, but they got taken away every time. Stock can work up from here. News is slower in coming than one often would like, but steady progress behind the scenes. Distinctions to be made between 'operational' and 'qualified' equipment: the latter requires the customer to test product for a period of time, could be 30 to 90 days (see SEC filings). Doesn't mean the lines aren't already set up in 'final' configuration as per Valence, and making the final run of test samples as per various customers' requests. Was told so by the company, ask them yourselves... Anyone get a hold of a QCOM/G* handset with Valence inside yet? It's about time. Expect they've shifted production to the Arcotronics from the Klockner by now, as per last CC and prior PR. Any last minute bets on hitting the rev numbers from CIBC for the last Q? Easy target, made harder by lack of confirmation of shipping to the other POs yet, though company says those customers are targeting larger format cells now, for PDAs and such. Ahem... and, about that laptop PO... Lev? Is the customer moving along on his design in? Is he 'qualifying' now? You know you're going to get asked this on the CC. Tough to be shackeled by customers wanting to lay low before COMDEX and such shows. Good enough reason to buy today at such bargain prices, though! We're behind you, just tell the story true and strong.
