Reasons to buy:

1) Semi is very close to bottom now, should see rebound by mid 98 if Asian Crisis ease.

2) CD-ROM still important for rest of 1998. Well, you can call OAKT an invisible company but it is still acount for more than half CD-ROM controller market share.

3) Notebook sales and digital imaging device should continue expand market share at a greater rate than 1997. Both benefit OAKT.

4) There are still good chance for OAKT's ATAPI DVD-ROM controller to be a potential money maker.

5) commodity components will continues benefit from increase volume of sub-800 PC. Sub-1000 PC market share has increase to more than 40% last year.

6) OAKT is indeed cheap, not to mention it is still earning money quarter by quarter, low debt and high book value. (the coming quarter is a big challenge, I suspect it will miss the 0.12c/shr estimate).

There is not much you can expect in chip stock at this time, It is easy to find a handful of chip stocks which have been punished by 50% or more. Take a look at ESST, CUBE, ZRAN, ISSI, SIII...
