Shane, these two are "day traders" due to their volatlity (I have great regard for the companies as well, BRCM is spending the most on R&D as percentage of sale than any chip company I follow). That said, the market are not rational, and I am stepping aside here on the Q, just got out of QLGC at $37.69 (loss of $2.69)and BRCD at $18.72 ((-$1.13)and BRCM at $19.40(-$.84). Still waiting for MERQ and ELX (tough to trade that one in premarket since it moved to the NYSE).
