Sorry Jim,

I don't know much about VLSI. I see the reason for your
interest though.

>>company is experiencing a strong rebound in orders from Ericsson;
>>believes that VLSI has won the design for new Ericsson phones and thus
>>Q3 earnings could double from Q2 levels and double again in Q4.....

I usually stay away from companies towards the bottom of the
food chain. I only track few from a distance to gauge the health
of companies further up the ladder. Most of the business is a
commodity like business and margins are constantly
under pressure. Unless a company
has a proprietary technology like PMCS, it is hard
to maintain margins and profitability, let alone retain
customers.

Given the positive spin being put on this it should be good
for a bounce though. I'll see if I can find anything further on this.
