Raffi, I wouldn't bother asking HIM... he is obviously short the stock. Look at the chart for most chip stocks with low capitalization. They all dip in late summer and come back in early spring. Just wait it out. With Asian currencies devalued it may be super cheap now to manufacture the chips for MLIN and this will increase the profit margin... think about it. Graham

Raffi, I am in this for the long run, by design and by default. I can't take anymore loss in my potfolio this year - the wife will take away my check book <g>. I think MLIN is going to make good. Over all, long term trend is the graph to look at. Recent events make short term graph look bad and hence short investment horizons are not so good. (That's short as in holding long positions for short periods of time.) I don't short stocks at this point in my investment carreer - thought it was funny that the guy above this post thought I did. This company is pretty new, needs more time, given it's short history it's impressive to see it rise to highs of 20 even if it's followed by drastic dissapointments. Now that's my two cents, but frankly there are other folks on this thread who understand the Semi business far better than I do as well as the foiables and strengths of MLIN. Mean while I am holding 1K of shares at 10.52 so don't dispair there are always going to be times like this. At least the stock is holding on as best it can even at 7 5/8 I've been with this stock when it was at five, so 7 doesn't look so bad ;o) regards Jim
