Patrick & Cyrix Investors - Re: NSM's Second Half Bleak Prospects

DId any one find this lame excuse for NSM's problems rather interesting ?

"Now, National predicts that its financial performance
through the end of the calendar year will be affected by
the growing trend towards sub-$1,000 PCs and a
slowdown in chip orders. The documents were filed on
Monday. "

{===============================}

Wasn't the sub $1000 PC the REASON NSM BOUGHT CYRIX? Didn't Halla trumpet the success of Cyrix in the sub $1000 PC market as to the REASON he wanted to buy Cyrix?

In the past conference call, Halla stressed that sub $599 PCs were the "next big thing". How much does Halla plan on losing on THESE MACHINES?

Look for Halla to be fired before next summer. Maybe Jerry Rogers can give him a job !

DEEDLE - where are you when we need you ?

That is one pessimistic Pre-announce!

I don't get it. DLJ Direct picks NSM as a "Top Pick" the same week as this pre-announcement. Any theories?
