ST Trading: Placed an order to buy 5K amat at 44.90. Got 500 so far. This trade is for a quick two point jump in next few days. If starts to slide will take a loss and get out. Last two months have been slow since I was away. My covered call account is really doing well. Since april 23 so far have $16.15 on NVLS, 15.10 on amat, 11.45 on lltc and 6.35 on mxim. The latest calls expire next week. I have been buying more shares with the cash I receive on covered calls. I have doubled NVLS and just bought 400 more shared of lltc at 44.60 for long term. I have been posting these trades. In trading account, there has been almost no action for last two months. Today is the first trade. Lets see how it pans out. kdavy

Samsung Starts Volume Production of 256Mb Rambus DRAMs August 9, 2001 (SEOUL) -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. reported on Aug. 7 that it has started volume production of 256Mb Rambus DRAM products. That's six months ahead of other global rivals, including Toshiba Corp., Infineon Technologies AG and Micron Technology Inc. The chip measures 0.15 micron in width, the slimmest by industry standards. The Korean player said Rambus DRAMs will account for 35 percent of the DRAM sector's sales this year, emerging as a profit leader in the wake of falling chip prices. The price tag on 128M Rambus DRAMs is set at US$6-$7 per unit, while SDRAM chips are priced in a range of US$1.60-$1.70 each. Rambus DRAMs are used in high-function PCs, workstations, game machines, digital TVs and set-top boxes, and are expected to meet growing demand. Samsung also said it will release fourth-generation Rambus DRAM chips measuring 0.13 micron at the end of this year. (Maeil Business Newspaper, Korea)
