Whats wrong with the ntap products? I'm long, it was one of my "xmas run" stocks along with rfmd but since last week I wonder if its getting ahead of itself. From what I am reading they have the best storage solution - cheaper, simpler etc. against the only real competition EMC. If you believe in total outsourcing (hosting) then ntap was a way to play it I thought. What am I missing?

DAMN SAVINGS RATE.... Dude asks "Why does the Commerce Dept., or whoever, keep hollering that the saving rate is the lowest it's ever been, and then, on the other side of their mouth, announce that everybody is dumping bushel baskets full of money into their 401(k)s. Isn't putting money into a 401(k) saving it, or am I crazy?" Well it is kinda different, but I see your point. Also: "I know myself that I put as much as I can into my 401(k) (as I presume most people do) and do not save anywhere else. Now correct me if I am wrong... but when you put money in a 401(k), the amount becomes "deferred income" and is not either current income or savings. Therefore, assuming on average (if the average person saves, say, 3%) income is understated by 3% and savings is understated by 3%. The number posted on a monthly basis is meaningless!!! Going forward, what happens in 15-20 years?? There are going to be a lot of retired people sitting on the beaches and personal income will soar!! " Right on, Cliff.
