Not confusing. The summer quarter (Q1 2000) is always slow so no surprise here. Last year it was the same thing.

I think the earnings number, although in line, put a floor for the stock in low 20s. I doubt it is going to bounce back much(26 tops) . The street has gotten burnt a number of times in trying to call a COMS recovery - so the upgrades will have to wait. Buyback with bad news seldom helps a stock. (if these guys were smart, and thought the stock was undervalued - there would be some insider buying).

Glad to be out of this one for now. May pick up some trading shares in the 22 range if it gets there.

Regards

Alok

hitesh: Sales forecasting in this sector is only realistic on a quarter to quarter basis. I did not hear of any hiccups for the next Q but it is possible I missed that.

Tomorrow the street will react to the report and CC. That should be a good test regarding the interpretations.
