digi-jam:

Rumor is : ERICY is looking for take-over of ASND or COMS.

Last 30 days IBM has 7 downgrades and HWP 20 downgrades.

seasonality, asian crisis , currency problems

Big Chip Deal:

1. MU is giving 600 M stk and 200 to pay off debt
TI is not great in DRAM biz. TXN is getting lot ot of cheap mu stk- MU is getting 200M cash to go against Koreans - txn can participate in good dram biz. of mu - koreans are dumping drams - cpq and ibm have inv. under control - pc demand increase in 2nd half - will be lot of dram demand- mu is a local co - how can they handle global mkts given by TXN ?
------------------------------------

ericy to buy Asnd :

voice guys want digital guys

ERICY is a voice co. Its move is good.
LU, ERICY, Siemens, CSCO on acquirer side -
CSCO makes small acquisitions - mega deals are hard to assimilate
COMS has lot of core tech and could be attractive
------------------------------
tlabs has consistently beat S&P 2.6 time. the ceo takes very small compensation unusual to a co ceo of tlab size.
-------------------------
video e-mail
