We have not seen a fourday losing streak for the bluetooth chip. They got an upgrade from piper jaffray. A nice 2. 5 gain from intel. Back to you. Lori many thanks as always.

We know this is historically one of the weakest times for the stock market. That is right. That is usually the case. Obviously, some kind of hedging is always appropriate.

What does that tell you other than the Company Effectively managed where analysts were. We have no idea is it above or below. Intel, a third of their profit dropped off. In both revenue, and earnings, wouldnt you like to know how it compares . What if everything is down from last year in both revenues and earnings . Was it rich who was saying what you should be looking at is the number of companies that have surprising that shock you by missing by so much. Those are the ones who you havent really seen just objectively, it is hard to do above or below last year, there is always items, they sell businesses, so, you know, things are discontinued and makes it hard.
