Your article contains the following statement... "Taiwan's other major chip makers said they, too, were rapidly diversifying into faster-growing areas because of the PC growth slowdown" This sounds like a move out of PC oriented chip production to other device chip production. This is a move into ALSC space and should put downward pressure on pricing. We may have to rely more and more on the investment portfolio for our value.
