Sahara,
  First, let me apologize for my delay in answering your question.  Second, if anyone hasn't done so already,  welcome to Silicon Investor.  
  I'm not sure how you picked me for the honor of answering  your question, so maybe you could satisfy my curiousity on this issue?
  Now, I'm no expert on this area, so what I'm going to give  you is my opinion - okay? If anyone else on this thread wants to help out with your question please feel free as well.
  If you are truly new to posting/contributing to these threads, I would first off err on the side of caution. It's a lot easier to expand/explain further a previous post than to withdraw one once it's out there for the whole world to see.  Just some  common sense there. 
  Also take with a large grain of salt anything you read here, and that will be true of how people will view any of your posts as well.  A lot of unwarranted bullishness (or pessimism) gets expressed on these threads, and selective "facts" can often be used to support either position.
  Now, to finally answer your question, it is my opinion that for you to comment or make general observations on increased or  diminished wafer flow processing at your company would not constitute  any SEC kind of violation. As a back-end vendor, my understanding is  you are talking about stuff like probe and test, wire lead bonding  type stuff, like a teradyne, electroglas, or a kulicke and soffa would be doing (or supplying equipment for).  You can see scattered posts containing the same type stuff throughout the various threads on SI. 
  Now what you might really want to check out would be your company's conflict of interest corporate policy statements.  Even though  info you post probably would not violate any securities law, your company might feel that on the matter of customer trust, there might be a problem there. 
  If you want to pursue your question further, you can pose your  question to Jill, the webmistress of this site, or Jeff and Brad. Hope this helps. Good luck on all your investments.  Peter.
