Mark, "Wasn't it your idea to purchase these stocks every May and sell them every January? This is still the best timing plan I have seen to date." Well, it was to buy on/around Labor Day, and sell sometime around Memorial Day, though perhaps April 1 would be better. It wasn't my idea, though (even if I may have recently revived it), it was actually bandied about on the Seagate and Quantum threads before this thread was even begun. Significant lows seem often enough to come in August/Sept for these stocks. Significant enough, at least, for the stocks to frequently be at least 2 or 3 time higher by sometime between the following Jan and April. I wouldn't want to try it in bear markets, though.

If it is waiting for the explosion in bandwidth then it is beginning to see some good news. Will fat-pipes save the day? Is the coming boom in bandwidth going to fill our hard drives up drop by drop, resulting in another replacement cycle for HDDs and PCs? In a few years, will video replace the written word as the method of exchange on the Internet? Will I be downloading images of Stitch, sitting in his KL backyard, smoking a cigar and explaining the drive business? -Robert
