From The Wall Street Journal: =================================== A.J. Triano is one of them. The seventh-grader from Midland Elementary watches CNBC in the morning before going to summer camp, "just to see how the futures are doing and what the market is going to do for the day," he says. He's familiar with financial names like Fidelity, Schwab and Ameritrade because "I see them all the time on TV and billboards." He and his sister Kaitlin -- a sixth-grader who also participated in the stock market game -- have coaxed their family into trading actively via an American Express account, and young A.J. rattles off tales of nearly doubling their money quickly in Goodyear and Disney stock. =================================== Money-Savvy Youth Capture The Finance Industry's Eye August 11, 2000 interactive.wsj.com

This is a very tough market to deal with, Glenn. But it's never boring eh? :-) It sure takes some looking, but that is why we're all here I guess! I've always thought that knowing when to sell is just as tough as knowing when & what to buy. Victor

Top Ten possible ramifications of Lieberman being a heartbeat away from the Oval Office: 1) National Anthem changed to "Sunrise, Sunset". 2) We all have to go the White House once a week for dinner - and bring something from the bakery. 3) Martin Sheen replaced on "West Wing" by Gary Shandling. 4) New Secretary of State - Barbra Streisand. 5) National symbol changed from bald eagle to "The Early Bird". 6) Annual Easter Egg Hunt changed to "Find the Matzoh Ball". 7) "Hail to the Chief" replaced with "Get A Load of the Big Macher". 8) White House interns - shiksas only!! 9) Plastic covers on White House furniture. 10) Balance the Budget? - Buy everything wholesale!!

Going? >SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2000--IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:SYXI) today reported record revenues of $23.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 which is an increase of 36% over the $17.1 million revenue for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Net income has grown at a higher pace to $3,694,000 ($0.30 per share, diluted), which is an increase of 218% over the net income of $1,163,000 ($0.10 per share, diluted) in the prior-year quarter. Net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 included a $1.1 million gain composed primarily of a one-time payment for a technology license, reduced by accruals for anticipated legal expenses. Gross profit was $8.2 million, or 35.3% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This compares with a gross profit of $5.6 million, or 33.0% percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase in gross profit reflects increased manufacturing efficiencies. "This is the fourteenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, and the ninth consecutive quarter of record revenue level," said Nathan Zommer, President and CEO. "We are committed to our expanded new products plan and increased capacity demand, as needed by the strength of our bookings. We are also thankful to our dedicated employees and loyal customers worldwide in achieving this level of performance." With the recent acquisition of Directed Energy, Inc., IXYS has expanded its product range, including high-power RF power MOSFETs, laser diode drivers and high-voltage pulse generators.
