Owl, I have to chuckle. I did a quick clickthrough through the financial websites on IRF subject and pickup up three or four headlines from different news services. They run from dark: "IRF Profit Falls in YOY Period", to upbeat: "IRF beats estimates" to giddy " IRF sees solid sales growth in June quarter". The numbers to me said, o.k. quarter, things getting better. Demand picking up, orders picking up. As I noted, this is the real news in the report, as so many companies are not giving this kind of more positive outlook. IRF is the kind of company which can be a good indicator of production uptick trends, as they are engineered into a wide range of products....everything from chips to autos, to refrigirators to stealth bombers. (Don't need to build a lot of those next quarter).
