*AV* -- I know this is a very old message but it never got answered. I am catching up on posts so,

I remember last January I was long and strong and had been for years.
You preferred RDRT....I sold out of APM in February I think, and here you are a year later changing boats in mid-stream.

Why? What made you swap out of Read Rite?


Basically, both companies were a coin toss with the edge going to RDRT and their workon MR heads and GMT type technology. That was the reason for my preference. As far as I am concerned this sector is controlled by RDRT and APM externally and SEG internally.

Now, all things being equal, I think both companies have issues down the road but APM might have the greatest upside potential.
