FYI, announced on news in UK yesterday, ATML gets £28M ( about $44M) grant from UK govt for reopening the old Siemens plant. The govt here is not to popular right now and is likely to support any good news. The location of the plant is an area of historical unemployment probs due to a decline in the shipping industry which used to provide "jobs for life" on Tyneside.

Bosco,yes you did miss a few, however being a humble public servant here's the deal. ATML will sell four million shares of new issue, this is only about 1.5 % of the shares outstanding at present. This is in order to be listed on the Paris exchange,( This is a very good long term move ), due to the fact that Europe is a large market for smart cards. So once ATML goes GLOBAL, the word gets around, and bingo we have major exposure. Now if you put a few pieces together you get this : ATML lists in Paris : ATML gets a European Fab : ATML is presenting at a smart card conference this week. :ATML might release some major design wins at or after this conference, it just happens to coincide with the Paris listing. The last one is pure speculation on my part. Anyway you get the picture. Take care Henry
