OT >> re, any idea why the weakness WDC today? It appeared that an institution sold approx 2 m shares on thursday, and same or another seller dumped another 3 m shares on Friday. This is not unusual, and in the past has not been of predictive value. There are lots of shareholders with 100% or more of profits in the past few months, and they generally do these periodic sell-offs prior to the Q report because they don't want to take the risk of a disappointment. However, my own checks of disk prices convince me that the report will be better than the published estimate of 19c. Also, approx one month ago in a presentation, the CFO stated that the quarter was proceeding on track. So I had no hesitation in re-buying a few thousand shares on the weakness on Friday. Just as an aside, I placed a GTC order to sell 10% of my position @ 15.30. In case I'm right. Good luck with your buy. I personally am not at all concerned by the Friday sell-off. Sarmad
