"IMHO, there is not a single technology that is driving ADI."

But of course not. All systems are go...that is what makes this such a good investment. Damned the torpedoes...full speed ahead.

Not Even a Summer Slowdown in Semis

S&P's Thomas Smith sees numerous strong buys among chip stocks, including Novellus,
Analog Devices, and even downtrodden LSI

NEW YORK, Aug. 07 (Business Week Online) - Thanks to the information revolution,
top-ranked stocks abound in the semiconductor world. And the correction in that market arena
is almost over. So says Thomas W. Smith, Standard & Poor's equity analyst covering stocks
of semiconductor and semiconductor-equipment companies.

Smith reports as one good sign the fact that the usual summer slowdown in demand did not
occur this year. Because of the cell-phone boom, in fact, there's a shortage of
capacitors, which leads to S&P giving its highest ranking (, under the Stock
Appreciation Ranking System ) to such companies as Vishay Intertechnology and
Kemet.

Q: Tom, as our hour nears its close, sum up for us the 5-Star, or S&P strong buys, on your
stock list.

A: We have many 5-Stars on my semiconductor and semiconductor-equipment list. Among
the chipmakers, we have some analog companies, including Maxim Integrated Prod (MXIM),
Analog Devices (ADI), and Xilinx Inc (XLNX). We have the largest foundry company, Taiwan
Semiconductor Mfg ADS (TSM), and Atmel, as a play on flash memory. LSI Logic is our
offering in the ASIC area. Among the semiconductor equipment manufacturers, we carry
AMAT, NVLS, and Kulicke & Soffa Ind (KLIC). Two others, in electronic components: VSH is a
5-Star, and so is Amkor Technology (AMKR).
