I believe that the big money that wants into TDFX expect that lots of small timer whip-lash folks will be willing to sell into tomorrow's strength hoping to buy back in at lower prices after the "inevitable" correction like last quarter (ie. less than $20/share)

In any case, the sellers will be burned this time. There is so so much less risk right now after the skilled guidance by mgmnt - that your shares for sale will be snapped up for safe long-term keeping. Just as it was "obvious" TDFX would go to $50 after last Qs earnings, it is "obvious" TDFX will drop back to $20 after this Qs great earnings.

Management has shown they can guide much better and I would not doubt they have held back lots of earnings for next Quarter. Also, excitement will mount for Q3 as this will have most of the Xmas chip sales in it.

In addition, shorts might not bid TDFX up, but they will be buying back on any weakness and providing support.

I expect an open at $23 1/4, run up to $25, drop back down slightly below the open and a finish over $25.

REMEMBER: just like last quarter, the big money will do the opposite than what is expected! Based on newly available information we deserve it and should be at $50 before earnings come out next quarter.

Good luck and if you stuck it out this long, don't get burned now that the facts are known!!

larry,

Re: selling, yep, even though the patterns are totally different. The fundamentals are different, there is strength into the summer season and the market should now be looking into 4Q, the big season. You might just be right, follow up on that sell. I would encourage you to buy some puts at the open. You could make some big bucks (xxx%) by the end of the week if you're right. It's gotta be hard to pass up given the history.

Regards,
Jim
