"Stud"

<<Folks, there is a reality here that has not been talked about by industry guru Stich (sic) or anybody else.>>

My reading of your post suggested to me that you think I have only been writing negatively about RDRT as an investment since the IBM/WDC announcement. Not true. I first began warning about RDRT in January when it was trading at 15 plus change. My mistake was not being bearish enough cause I said "I wouldn't be surprised to see RDRT at $10 a share". I now think it will break through 10. I think the IBM/WDC announcement is very bad news for RDRT and APM. I also think that sector will see some shake-out due to dramatic overcapacity.

By the way. I see no reason to get snide. I am simply posting an opinion like you. I have no short position on RDRT or any other stock and simply feel that the independent component suppliers are not a good investment at this time.

By the way. You mention in your post that "fundamentals are improving". If you mean the DD sector I agree. If you mean RDRT I would like to know what fundamentals you mean. There has to be some reason that RDRT has so badly underperformed the group.

From looking at a RDGT price chart it appears the slide began on the 4th--same day WDC/IBM deal was announced --and looking at the intra-day for Friday the stock continued to weaken as the day progressed. Even if RDRT looses 1/3 of WDC's business that's a 15% revenues loss for RDRT on top of an already weak market. This is just a guess, but just looking a last weeks action RDRT could easily break $10 on Monday.
