Well guys... the NASDAQ _is_ down 23 points... As long as we don't drop 3 points at a time... I'm happy. Also, margin calls from last week are probably finally hitting.

In all fairness, if the price were $25/share, I would be here to tell you how wrong you were when you predicted a significant fall in the stock price after the earnings announcement. As it stands, it appears that I was wrong.

TDFX is an interesting company in a new and growing market. While they have established some credibility, they are a company that is valued not on earnings or p/e. Rather, this is a trading stock. For the long term investor, buy MSFT, LU, CSCO, and DIS. For a trader, there is some money to be made with TDFX.

I am not a trader. I don't have the time or patience to make money on an unpredictable stock like this. So, I have sold my position in favor of DIS stcok. In 30 years, I am quite confident that DIS will still be around. As for TDFX, I don't know...

Good luck to all longs (and shorts). But, don't buy this one for your childrens education fund.

I wish I knew why the market likes to whip this stock like a rented mule. But, I am staying long because I believe that the 3-D acceleration market is the next big growth opportunity in PC hardware and TDFX is (IMHO) the best player in that market.

However, days like today make me want to stay in bed with the covers pulled over my head.

Next stop $14 a share?
