Would be nice if Wien's prediction #8 comes true: <<8. Consumer electronics and home-improvement retailers become hot stocks in the second half of the year, led by Best Buy, Circuit City, Home Depot and Lowe's.>> Would bode well for SNDK and other flash producers if so.

Elizabeth, regarding the Brian Wien predictions, note that he places a probability of about 50 percent on them. To understand what this really means, please note that if the probability of an outcome being in line with the prediction is 50 percent, then the probability of the outome NOT being in line with the prediction is also 50 percent. In other words, one could make a random decision by throwing darts at a board or drawing numbers out of a hat and get the same reliability and validity as these "valuable" predictions. More nonsense from a firm that ought to know better. Art
