Charlie:

The semi industry is moving towards
larger and more expensive fabs that require massive amounts
of capitol and excellent mgmt to keep them running full speed.
IDTI has neither.


Are you short IDTI? Because, one thing that has separated IDTI from the commonplace company (such as CY) has been their focus on product development - R&D investment, even during the downturns. They have prob. the largest portfolio of patents amongst chip companies, next to Intel. A management that has the gumption to invest in R&D, even during difficult periods, can only be termed as visionary, esp. considering the trader driven, quarter to quarter profitability environment we operate it.

The two reasons that Mike murphy has been bullish on IDTI for the last four years (R&D investment, good management) are the two that you cite as reasons for potential downfall. I would ask you to re-examine the bases for your conclusions because they seem completely erroneous.

Best Regards,
