Well you have been right with this hypothesis so far. As a substantial holder now of ACTM it causes concern for me . The question I would ask is does the price difference (discount) of the second tier players create a good investment anyway given their more limited growth possibilities . Or instead of growing slowly will they wither? Put another way is their a niche for high mix low volume business which ACTM.PLXS, and BHE can serve better and will this niche grow or can a second Tieer coompany become a leader in one specialty of this low volume type like Medical Electronics for BHE. If so then at the "blue light" prices maybe these stocks will pay off. Of course I think I am sounding like someone trying to convince himself being underwater in ACTM and high on a windswept hill with FLEXF. And then their is DIIG not your favorite stock but the question is where does it fit in this lineup?

Amen! I agree 1000%! Plexus is a non-player.

Can you explain how the ECM sector getting "sell off" when Plexus announced bad earnings? JBIL and SLR announced their good earnings just two days ago, how would another company's bad report influence the stock of two companies that just announced a good one???

I dont think that you can use the traditional stock market supply and demand theory to support this.

Face it, the market is manipulated in a big way.
