Gus, I'm in the same boat. However I'm waiting for an entry point to HTCH since TSA still looks like a long term winner and they should ultimately benefit when price elasticity causes growth in worldwide PC demand. Seems I'm the only one who believes this will happen.

Gus, that's the best summation of the situation I've seen. Comes at a good time, too; I was getting ready to shop for DD longs <g>. You're absolutely right, the dust hasn't settled yet. It's too bad none of the Up-And-Coming-3 are public. I wish I could buy IBM SSD shares ...

God bless,
