To all TA experts, would like to get some opinions on near term outlook for Rmbs. I like the fact that the stock is relatively holding its own, looks like it is consolidating. I especially like the retreat on very low volume. But the graph bothers me somewhat. I am looking at the very near term, currently playing the July 110 calls, and just a little nervous. Thanks in advance.

NEC Suspends DRDRAM Making On Poor Demand Outlook Monday, July 10, 2000 TOKYO (Nikkei)--NEC Corp. (6701) has halted production of 128-megabit Direct Rambus DRAMs used in personal computers because it believes they cannot compete against cheaper synchronous DRAMs, currently the most widely used chip in the industry. The company will begin producing synchronous DRAMs on lines that until recently had turned out the Direct Rambus high-speed chips. DRDRAMs transmit data at higher speeds than synchronous chips, but they are about twice as expensive. NEC began volume production of the advanced chips late last year, with high hopes to ship 1.5-2.0 million chips per month to PC makers starting in September. NEC ranked as the world's No. 2 producer of DRDRAMs, after Samsung Electronics Co., but Intel Corp.'s introduction in late June of a new chipset compatible with synchronous DRAMs has boosted overall demand for synchronous chips. The NEC production halt is, however, not permanent. The firm will mass-produce 288-megabit DRDRAMs compatible with Intel's Pentium 4 microprocessor, slated to be launched late this year, the sources said.
