Hyundai has been put on creidt watch: partly due to market problem faced by Maxtor:
techweb.com
Another article said that Hyundai, LG Goldstar and Samsung will protect their continued investment in Semiconductor due to their strength in DRAM. This is the area they seem to have decided not to give up. It sounds to me that they have to give up something to re-gain their credit and be able to continue to obtain sizable loans.
Maybe, it is time for Hyundai to dump Maxtor.

Kurt, "intricacies" was spelled right, I just looked it up. Re your
post:
I've been on SI for over a year and have never seen so much despair.
People have worked so diligently all year to invest wisely, only
to be cheated out of their reward. Yet I've talked to neighbors who
have their money in mediocre mutual funds and they seem quite
content. Maybe it is time to get away for a while for some of us.
Speaking for myself - I'm going sailing. I had become too obsessed
with investing.

>Hell, I had to liquidate my IRA to pay off my called margin on INVX this morning. I will be eating macaroni for Christmas and then pay Uncle Sam my 10% penalty fee on top of the cheese-less macaroni (cheese would cost to much).

Was it Emerson or Thoreau who said, "Diversify, diversify"?
