Here's a good article on the initial assessment of the impact of the Taiwan quake: ..."It looks far worse than what companies are saying about the damage," said analyst Danny Lam, a principal at Fisher-Holstein Inc. "Worldwide allocation (of Taiwan-made products) is inevitable." The Taiwanese government estimates that chip makers could lose more than $63 million a day due to production shutdowns. "And it could take no less than two months before foundries reach their pre-earthquake production levels," said Jim Feldhan, president of Semico Research Corp., Phoenix. It's a long article and it got chopped just when a CEO was telling the truth: "The situation is quite severe," said Roy Vallee, chairman and chief executive of Avnet Inc., Phoenix.
