Mike, I feel the same way about Micron- no matter what is said it will be spun into a positive and the herd will eat it up. They could announce that Lehi was build on a radioactive waste site and the stock would rally-g-. Mike

Mike:

Enjoy your commentary. Couple of my own observations,
1. Mu earnings are immaterial to the stock price. Even if it misses earnings by 50% and records a 25-30 cents loss, it wont matter.
2. People are looking to 1999 earnings. 1998 are a write off so it does not matter. I used to believe that mu traded the dram price, it does not or at least has diverged over last month or two.
3. Investors have lots of moola, and they know that they can throw it at the market and the market will go up - therefore, they throw the money at the market.
4. Stocks do not go down until it is obvious company is going out of business.
5. I said it last message, and it bears (no pun intended) repeating, this market can not go down as long as the M3 continues to expand at the rate it is expanding.

That being said, (since I have not done well trying to play the downside of a huge bull market), what do you like long ?

MB - I am confused by MU's earnings obfuscation. It claims the offsetting gain from the subsidiary sale was .18, while the income statement shows $157.1M. Even if you take some taxes out of this, how do you get to .18?
