Thanks Dozer. I knew someone would dig it up (so to speak!!). There are really too many strong buys from the big houses on this stock to get overly concerned. However, when it's happening and you just don't know the reason (it was a big move down....), it's somewhat unnerving, but not confidence breaking (if you get my drift....). Regards, Steve

Thanks for pointing that out, Bulldozer. I totally missed it. I love it when these knee jerk "corrections" give us opportunity to buy at a discount.

I recently purchased some VTSS and have also been looking at AMCC. I understand that the VTSS chips are made using Gallium versus the Silicon which is what AMCC uses. I read that VTSS chips currently have a speed edge because of Gallium, but that it is more expensive to work with and silicon efficiency is catching up quickly. The CEO at AMCC contends everyone will use silicon eventually because of the economies of scale. I am hardly an engineer and am interested if anyone could shed more light on this issue of Galium Versus Silicon. Thank you! LJM
