AMAT YoYo Demo —— the Cell phone is fast becoming the thing a person can not afford to be without. Even the poor, by improvising can operate one at affordable cost. Last week my niece from the Philippines, a poor country, emailed me this short message using the Cell phone of her daughter attending Elementary school: —-

“Uncle Tito, grandma received mom's visa documents (Ellah)”

It cost her probably 20 cents to send the not more than 160 characters in length message to me in the US ( 2 cents only if destination is Locally). Over there, it's free to receive calls or messages in Cell phones. I answered with this email to her daughter's Cell phone: —-

Ellah, apply as nurse or teacher, 1 million Filipinos gain work abroad annually. Make sure grandma's US passport still OK (uncle tito)

In subsequent emails using short messages, I told her I read from Internet editions of the country's newspapers that even Filipino Doctors are going back to school to finish Nursing (probably takes only a year for a doctor to finish nursing). Doctors there receive from 300 to 800 dollars a month while in California, the starting salaries for nurses is 5,000 dollars a month. That figures. My niece works as a Nurse-teacher in the central Elementary school in town at around 200 dollars a month.

Texas Instruments-Philippines supply DSP chips to 100% of Nokia's Cell phones and 80% of that of Ericsson's Cell phones. Of course the DSP chips are made using AMAT's Chip Equipment machines.

What I'm doing now is Sentimental investing: —-
