Halleluja !!!!!! At long last! Congrats to TFS! The only hitch ... released at 8:08 p.m. eastern time ... all brokers gone home .... probably too late to make tomorrow's papers ... old news by Friday. Oh well, the real news will be ... orders ... then Chinese/Phillipine plants humming along producing these trinkets ... out of the low margin LCD world into the high margin proprietary leading edge product world. This will likely put TFS product into most brands of cell phones and a bunch of other products within a short time ... so in one step, we also move away from being a captive supplier to one or two major customers. Good move. Check and mate! Again, halleluja! Of course the first few points on the upside will only just make me whole, but this could easily turn into a lot more than a few points on the upside. Tomorrow should at least be bad news for any shorts and put a stop to any margin calls that might be around. Note: this must explain why some TFS execs have so much travel booked for the next four or five weeks. Nite all. Floyd
