Brian,

I agree with your statement that a turnaround will eventually come but I don't see how s.k. can find the $$$ to make any significant capital purchases in the near term. I just got through reading about a dozen current articles from the korea times and things appear to be getting worse, not better. as far as I can tell american companies with cash or borrowing power are in a position to destroy the s.k. competition if the time was appropriate to upgrade to cutting edge manufacturing technology. s.k. chip companies are up the proverbial river without a paddle. they are heavily subsidized companies and are losing $$$ on their manufacturing operations. no wonder they are announcing production cutbacks. it'll be interesting to see if their competitors let them off the hook.

regards
