You are amazing. You want me to convince you that NTAP has strong FA and then you post this. Make a prediction. Hard numbers. Hard dates. Isn't that what TA is about? Let's see if you can convince me that this stuff isn't a waist of storage on the SI web host. BTW, let me repeat for everyone's benefit. I am not telling any of you that NTAP is a good investment for you. I am not recommending that you buy it. I am describing the company, its products, its market and its competition as I see them. It could all go to hell in a .....wait a minute...it already did. <g>

Mention of NTAP, et al, by Jim Cramer. Personally, I find his "Buzz and Batch" series interesting. Here's a snippet from today's column; the URL is below. [TEXT DELETED] You wouldn't notice the declines, pretty much a daily affair these days, if it weren't that so many others are hitting the eject from the JDS Uniphases and the SDLs and the Junipers and the Network Appliances. The sellers have blitzed from the outside -- the venture capitalists behind the companies that may have been acquired by these one-time kingpins -- and from the inside -- executives at the companies who want to sell before their giant gains go up in smoke. They keep blitzing because their bases, the price they got in, is still so much lower than where the stocks are, that 100% gains are still in the cards. So, the redeemers and the insiders and the VCs fight it out for the exits, and many of the players just may not make it out at prices anywhere near where we see them.
