Technology Stocks : S3 (A LONGER TERM PERSPECTIVE) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

> S3 can hold upto 15% of that we will be rich, don't we?

Not at current margins, we won't.
Remember profits = volume times margin.

Last year this stock ran into the 20's on the premise of
increased volume at the 40+ percent margins S3 was enjoying
at the time. But then the price war began. And the rest is
history.

This thread is starting to die. Volume of posts on this thread
is going down along with the average trading volume of the stock.
This stock is treading water until something happens.
I would've expected something to happen by now (such as a
management replacement or other form of restructuring) but nothing
doing.. for this reason I think people are losing interest in SIII.

Is there any news about possible management changes or shakeups
at S3? The silence coming from this company especially after the
accounting fiasco is absolutely deafening. Has anybody heard
of anything pending?
Until something happens, I'm afraid this stock will continue to
tread water, and people will continue to lose interest.

As long as S3 keeps its fingers in the pie I agree. I remember reading a comment on this thread that the big selling computer vendors are not installing cards with the S3 chips on them anymore.
