is it going to work this time....
we know that BRCM, CSCO's main supplier gapped up on earnings... plus lower dollar and better international picture together with chambers factor = GAP UP
is that so?

Chambers IS the original "Mr. Beat By A Penny."
Looks like the makings of a beautiful short...after the opening runup of course.
We shall see tomorrow morning.

Problem is that J6P is betting his underwear on it...

Perhaps but, over the years J6P trader has bought into Chamber's "beat by a penny" like Charlie Brown bought into Lucy holding the football everytime.after the opening runup of course.
Problem is that J6P is betting his underwear on it...
I'm going to wait and see if, after the yahoos rush in in at the open, I can be the second mouse that gets the cheese.

This guy has pulled too many monkeys out of his @ss in the past for me to bet against him. If I'm wrong, I'll know before I make the play.

After all these years, this company is still playing non-GAAP games---it does make you wonder what crap is hidden on their balance sheet. Two freaking set of books. It's like Citi with their never ending SIVs. They have 6 billion outstanding shares and will earn about $1.23 in Fiscal 2008 which includes two quarters from year 2007.
It's a $10 stock. No China after Olympics.
