From the CC, the reasons for increase in inventory are ; 1) Inventory include stocks from new Acquisition, exclude them the stock is 119M 2) Q1 stock level was at it super low level, they just couldn't have enough then. At 69M, it represented only 2 weeks of sales. Sim did said at the Q1 CC that Creaf will built up their inventory for the coming quarters. Even at current level of 143M, it is still only 5 weeks of sales which is consider low when compare to the industry.. I am not saying Creaf is inmune to the Asia problem, this is a problem many companies have to face. If it hit America and Europe, remember everything is global now, we might even goes into a depression. With Creative Q2 sales to Asia standing at 16.5% of worldwide sales, I am concern but not overly worried. PR

Chip, nothing you've said about CREAF is really unique to it. Same problems effect almost all other companies. MSFT said the same things about Asia in its CC. They "only" beat their number by 3 cents. Are you short them? You should be if you're consistent. You can find a whole pile of stocks which are still well above their lows. Why do you insist on picking on this stock so often? What do you have against this company in particular? Why don't you just short the Nasdaq? Dennis
