There is at least one more HTCH follower remaining. In fact I was just reading a cover article on HTCH in The Twin Cities Business Monthly. Not much new that close followers do not already know. There is a lot of discussion regarding keeping jobs at home versus outsourcing, relatively low labor cost as percent of goods sold due to proprietary manufacturing and automation processes etc. It is generally optimistic and Fortun is looking to markets in digital cameras and cell phones. I also closely following QCOM and have heard that Samsung is working on a sub 1 inch drive---most probably for a new cell phone/camera combo. I do agree that unit volumes should ramp up and that as we all know with HTCH--increased volumes result in disproportionate increases to the bottom line. Ron ps I have no link to the TCBM article
