Hi Steve,

I'd like to ask you about your November 20 price target of
"mid-30s". First, let me state that I'm very happy about this
target, but just want to know what you're basing it on. Perhaps
a surprisingly good earnings report? Maybe even a better report
in January for 4th quarter? I've been here before also...last
time I played the timing game (in Jan/Feb) in the low 20s and made
out with a nice profit. Of course, after that I stuck with it
and rode it all the way up to 42...and didn't sell (wish you would
have showed up earlier on this thread...I would have made several
dollars in covered call money on the way down). Now that the stock
is trading at a p/e of around 12, I feel that selling calls may
limit the potential gain we may experience soon (optimistic
thinking, I agree), so I will elect to wait...at least until
November 20!!

Anyway, let's hope that the millions of dollars that Atmel
insiders have spent on the stock recently imply a surprisingly
high earnings report next month (as Grace points out, the 10 million
shorts will run for the exits if and when this becomes clear).
