TXN plus......Taiwan's Mobile Phone Makers to Double Production in 2001 November 6, 2000 (TAIPEI) -- With the strong prospects of the telecommunications market, Taiwan's mobile phone producers are expected to increase their mobile phone products to meet mounting demand. Taiwan's major mobile phone makers, including Arima Computer Corp., Quanta Computer Inc., Inventec Corp., Acer Communications & Multimedia Inc, and Compal Electronics Inc., all estimated their mobile phones orders are expected to double next year. Compal forecasted that shipments will reach five million systems next year, up 900 percent from this year's 500,000 systems. The company had invested US$3 million to establish a concern in Korea to develop code division multiple access wireless technology. The company began producing CDMA handsets since the beginning of the third quarter of this year. It had acquired a 50 percent stake in Trinity Communications Inc., which specializes in global system for mobile communications mobile phones, in the second quarter of this year. Compal estimated recently that its revenue for this year is expected to reach at least NT$100 billion (US$3.225 billion at US$1 = NT$31). The wireless business will represent around 10 percent of that amount. Arima Communication Corp., a reinvested affiliate of Arima Computer, began producing triple-band GSM handsets this July. It began pilot-production of general packet radio service mobile phones, an advanced version of GSM phones, in August. The company said it has landed a contract from Sweden's Telefon AB LM Ericsson. The contract is expected to help boost the company's shipments to two million handsets this year and 10 million phones next year. Quanta forecasted that its shipments will reach five million mobile phones next year, a 400 percent jump from this year. The company has developed dual-band and triple-band GSM and CDMA gear. The company plans to roll out GPRS mobile phones in the first quarter of next year. Inventec Micro-Electronics Corp. and Inventec Appliance Corp. are Inventec's mobile phone arms. The two affiliates are expected to generate revenue of more than NT$10 billion (US$322.58 million) each next year. Inventec Micro-Electronics debuted its own smart phones at the end of September and plans to ship a total of 70,000 to 100,000 units of the phone for this whole year. Shipments are planned to soar to 300,000 to 500,000 systems next year, adding NT$2 billion (US$64.51 million) to the company's revenue. Acer Communications & Multimedia increased its surface mount technology production lines in October to boost production to two million handsets a month and total output to 16 million and 20 million phones a year next year.

I never bought an option in my life in after hours. All option put positions were called over and over in the trading forum within the confines of the trading day. Sorry if you got the impression anyone can get anything in after hours. I don't even get stocks in after hours. I might sell in after hours, but then I wouldn't be holding CSCO calls if I could have. Please recheck today's logs.. All the option put positions were called within plenty of time before the closing bell.. and some were reiterated one, two and three times during the doldrums (11:30-2:00) and again 3:00-3:45 period. We were watching like hawks.. for signs of deterioration and we got many.. JNPR, BEAS, BRCM,NUAN, PVTL, MYGN, GILD, EFNT, EXTR, all called put positions and continuing shorts when they triggered shorts in the earlier session like BEAS, EFNT, PMCS. Today was a shorter's delight actually and there were so many falling knives that made David Copperfield's act look tame.
