Is Texas Instruments' exit from the DRAM business the high-water mark of a massive memory-market restructuring, or is it the first indication of a larger, more-ominous storm surge building in the electronics industry? techweb.com

MB, the 6th seal of the bull market apocalypse has just been broken (6th seal: following sarcastic comments in online forum brings ludicrous short-term returns)... I looked up what would have happened if I had followed my own sarcasm on those 5 "ugly" beaten down stocks I threw out Thursday night: Message 5020591 From Friday's open to today's close: APM +46.98%, ALSC +22.82%, CRUS +17.88%, KMAG +1.11%, IOM +5.61%. How nutso is that? Or could this be an entirely new investment methodolgy deserving further scholarly exploration - perhaps a Journal of Finance piece under the title "Sarcasm-Based Trading Models"? Would probably be the first piece they ever ran with footnotes from Without Feathers. The beans are worth a shot, but make sure you use tap water with a high lead content and whatever you do (and this is deadly serious) make sure you remove all coffee grinds from the canister. Once I didn't, and I found myself reading Gene Marcial's column in Business Week... ...and actually taking it seriously <g> Good trading, Tom
