It must be the kamikazi fund - my advice is to hold through and pick up below 18 1/2 if you can. If my advice is worth anything! From Baseline: LT Debt to Total Cap 10% Owned by Institutions 63.7% Market Capitalization 1.5 Bil Avg Dly Vol (30 days) 501,100 In last 3 days, kamikazi must have dumped over 6 million shares, but only a small part of total institutional holdings. Level II users may be able to tell us who kamikazi is? LOL Short

If you read the post before yours (which I had not) you would know, as we all do now (because there have been 1/2 dozen press releases on the fact) that an anal-yst at Salomon Smith Barney downgraded the stock because of Accts Rec and inventory worries. Despite that, I believe this is a good company. I am using them as a solid way to diversify outside the techs (I am heavy in DELL and EMC). They're numbers prove that they are a good growth company with great market potential. To answer your question, I bought originally at $44, doubled down at $30, bought more at 24 15/16 yesterday (90 sh) and bought more today at 19 1/16 (140) for a grand total of 590 sh at avg price of $29. So I guess you could save I've been averaging down. I only wish I had waited yesterday, and been on top of it to get all those shares at $17.50 this morning. As a side note, it's really starting to tick me off how much power a single analyst can have on any one stock. Who needs inside information these days? All you need to know is what's the analyst gonna say about the stock tomorrow. There, I said it.
