May be short covering or profit taking from momentum plays into the beaten down stocks. Seems like several of the high fliers are getting whacked today including Google, RIMM and TASR.

Pro Forma Diluted Earnings for Q3 = $.24 [From 10-Q for Q3 2004 (bottom of page 7)] For information only! I am not implying anything. Interpretation is up to the reader. [NHP] "Pro forma" is a Latin term meaning "for the sake of form." Pro forma earnings are not derived by standard GAAP methods. Sometimes, pro forma earnings will be presented as part of a business plan and project earnings based on a set of assumptions. Items sometimes excluded in pro forma earnings figures include write-downs, goodwill amortization, depreciation, restructuring and merger costs, interest, taxes, stock based employee pay, and other expenses. The company excludes these items with the intent to present its figures more clearly to investors. However, whether or not this is accomplished is debatable. This has spawned such nicknames for pro forma earnings as EEBS or Earnings Excluding Bad Stuff. Investors should exercise caution when using pro forma earnings figures in their fundamental analysis. Unlike GAAP earnings, pro forma earnings do not comply with any standardized rules or regulations. As a result, positive pro forma earnings could actually become negative once GAAP requirements are applied and certain items are included in the calculations! From: INVESTOPEDIA.COM NHP

Toshiba sues Hynix in Japan and US over memory patents Press release; Jack Lu, DigiTimes.com [Tuesday 9 November 2004] Toshiba announced it is suing Hynix Semiconductor, both in Japan and the US, for infringement of Toshiba’s memory patents. On November 8, Japan time, Toshiba filed suit against Hynix in the Tokyo District Court for infringement of three of Toshiba’s NAND-flash memory patents. On November 9, Japan time, Toshiba also filed suit against Hynix in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, for infringement of three DRAM and four NAND-flash patents. Toshiba said it is seeking damages against Hynix in both cases. Toshiba claimed it was “left with no alternative other than to pursue legal recourse” against Hynix because the two firms could not agree on fees Hynix should pay for accessing Toshiba’s patents. Toshiba’s suit against Hynix follows two August 18 suits filed by SanDisk against STMicroelectronics. SanDisk claims ST infringed SanDisk’s NAND-flash patents. Toshiba and SanDisk are technology partners on NAND flash. Hynix and ST also have a similar relationship. -Pam Wonder how Sndk is doing? I ordered a 1GB Cruzer Mini from Dell for $51 AR sometime ago and they still haven't shipped it. Dell reports it is getting built and still doesn't have a date yet! I think, the rebate expires 11/27. Anyone else got it?
