Paul, Well, I didn't say CBM was blue chip, did I? Speculation … that's what it's about – Maalox! As for disk drives, well shortages and oversupplies come and go in any business. Right now oversupply may drive profits down and, hence, stock prices. So drive makers may become pretty good investment opportunities. They may even look better if they have declining profits during a down market. That double whammy could make their prices real attractive. But, they are good investments if they have value worth investing in. Features such as innovative product lines, good r&d, strength in their market, survivability, etc. I think a couple of them may be worth looking at, anyway. Besides, even if this isn't the time to buy, there may be better times down the road. I'm only 10 years away from retirement, so I need those 50% a year speculations!!
