Amazing. Even idiot analysts will get this right won't they -- the gain on MCMS or whatever it is on the next line. Don't you expect it will selloff? Seriously.

Mike, What do you think of caterpillar ? It is now selling at nine times earnings, and I was thinking of it as a contrarian play on both Asia and the commodity industries, all of whom are big equipment purchasers. Roy

MB:

What they are talking about is this quarter and the previous quarter. The revenue indeed increased by 15% in PC system (the other part of the increase is in other business), the gross margin went down 7%, from 22% to 15%. The net income is $0.12, compare with $0.17 previous quarter. The number beat the average estimate by $0.01. But the company is reducing the SG&A to achieve this goal.

Just my opinion!
