Stitch, re commodity definition: I looked at Webster's, too, and didn't find the 4th meaning for "commodity" "manufactured goods that can easily be duplicated by anyone, with no or low barriers to entry into the business" I made that definition up, but that's what "commodity" means to me. By that definition, DDs are not a commodity. Have a great SB weekend, everyone! GM

Stitch Let's try it another way. (1) A commodity is some time "we have to have" Like car,computer,dram,corn, wheat, and yes disk drives. (2) Now relating it to the stock market. And remembering that it is some thing we must have.... ............................................ Buy them when the earnings and news are bad ! Sell them when the earnings and news are good ! ................................................ (1) Commodity is any thing that "bad earnings" are not going to end the business. (2) Commodity is any thing that more then one comapny makes and therefore loses control of price to the market. (3) Commodity = cycles ................................................. see my web site at geocities.com Larry Dudash
