Hi Michael, I have been looking at FPF and if the dividend stays flat which is around 25%, this is not a bad return.<ggg> Joan

>>MUEI is claiming that this was a great quarter where they really got their act together.<< Did you notice MUEI's whopping 19% gross margin on PC sales this quarter. They really did get their act together...by pulling the usual accounting scam and writing off every piece of inventory in the previous quarter. Could the bulls be dumb enough to fall for this one, again? What is amazing is that they could only get 6 cents of earnings after all of the accounting tricks in the previous quarter. Guess they don't want to show a drastic recovery too soon...somebody might catch on to their game. <G> Speaking of accounting games with inventory, one of the masters of this game, Diamond Multimedia, is getting ready to announce their Annual Write-Down Everything Party. However, this no fun to watch since the street expects it in advance and moves the stock down long before an ugly press release is actually seen.
