Rande Is: Best Buy (BBY) has been selling off because of Circuit City's woes. However, Briefing.com makes an interesting point -- as Circuit City restructures and remodels its stores as it rids itself of household appliances, much of this business will go to BBY. They have a price target of $81 for BBY.

Absolutely dead-on, Rande. Me thinks there is a LOT of money moving around behind the scenes...the media won't get a clear "go" for cheerleading until most of it is placed. NT will be interesting: 300k shares trading in ah as low as $50 or so, JDSU down to 87...someone's doing some serious scooping--MK--
