So much for the 'don't short at 19' and '18's the bottom' theories.
More buying opportunities..., uh huh.
the sizable volume has me somewhat skeptical about averaging down here.
Well VLSI's book value has went up a buck.., that s/be worth some extra support I would think. And though estimates have come down, the high/low range is narrowing, indicating greater visibillity.
Greenspans comments about 'no solution in sight' for Asia has me somewhat concerned, though the market/dollar-yen exchange is acting optimisticly.
Pardon the Asian digression, but what I don't get is that the macro evidence is saying it's gotten worse recently(IMF), or at least not better (Greenspan), while a vast majority of reporting companies seem to indicate that the worst is over (INTC, VLSI, DSPG, others). Does anyone here try to factor in these things?
Also, can someone post url's about the VLSI buyout rumours that are NOT from a bulletin board? I personally have a hard time imagining a company that could synergistically blend with VLSI due to it's broad range of products. Just my opinion, of course, but then what is a 'buyout rumour' but some one's opinion?
