Bob Swanson said in a recent conference call, “For the first time in several quarters, all of the critical financial trends showed healthy improvement.” Oops, looks like the CEO missed a few "critical trends".................. The Milpitas, Calif., company suffered a revenue drop of 54% in its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, to $130 million, and a nearly 60% decline in net earnings, to $51.5 million. Fiscal pressures have also forced Linear to lay off employees for the first time in its 20-year history-a 17% reduction-and close a 4in.-wafer fab. Yeah, that sounds real "healthy" to me. LOL best...

"Nevertheless, Linear maintained a 40% aftertax profit margin in its latest quarter" Wow, that is nice. LLTC is appreciated by Wall Street with ~twice the P/S as the typical high quality analog chip company. I'm looking for a drop down to $30ish to add more shares, which is a 19% drop to exaggerate my best guess 13% drop in the Nasdaq to 1,400 within the next 6 months.
