Thanks to ALL for your info and experience. GM,IMO that graph gets an A+in design. You might enjoy an "On line" web page design class. There are probably many,one at santarosa.edu Again Thanks to All on this thread.(and esp. to Tito for reminding me of being a survivor). Sept. 1st I sold about 65% of my AMATand everything else I had then for my House Downpymnt. I had Margin equity and bought RECY. When I first read this thread one post said that if one would read every post for the last year they would be going to business school. I've learned a lot from risk to what TA stands for. Alice

Gottfried, Great job. The site is neat. Now we can see our BTB charted as soon as it is posted. I have the DW Bull % from DW postings. The NYSE Bull % as of last nite, 10/28/97 was 51.10% down from 75.70% on 10/15/97 for a 24.60% or 32.5% loss. The OTC was 44.70% down from 71.90 on 10/15/97 for a 27.20 or 37.83% loss. The 10week moving average was 29.23% down from 79.52 on 10/8/97 for a 50.29 or 63.24% loss. This is a short term indicator. The sectors with the greatest losses are semi with 20.80%, computer with 34% range and software companies with 32% range. Consequently, they as violatile sectors have the statistics on their side as they move toward the 50% (mean) range and upward. The lowest since March 1995 that the semi sector has gone was 12% in July 1996. The Banks started to reverse down from a high of 93.20% on 10/15/97 to 78% on 10/29/97. Threaders even the statistics appear to be on our side. :) Caution: This data may be in error due to human error and posting by DW. The figures are not audited and should only be used as a guide of what is happening in the market. Regards, Paul V

Gottfried, the the current chart and the previous one which goes back to 1991 clearly show that the analyst wanted to take profits and sell off. For threaders the previous site that Gottfried and Mr. B created for us is www.magneticdiary.com/tempgif/gottdoc.gif Paul V.

GM, Appreciate all your effort on the BTB chart. This doesn't sound as bad as the title. Sales and demand are strong. techweb.cmp.com TSMC profits slip a bit with foundry price erosion By Mark LaPedus HSINCHU, Taiwan -- Citing the ongoing price erosion in the IC wafer foundry business, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) reported a net profit of $148.5 million for the third quarter, ended Sept. 30, a 2.5% drop compared to the same period last year. But, sales at Hsinchu-based TSMC jumped 18% to a record $378.6 million in the quarter, compared to last year. For the first nine months of this year, TSMC's net profit fell 30% from the prior year to $362.5 million. Sales for the period were $925.6 million, an 8.3% drop compared to the third quarter last year. A TSMC spokesman said demand remains strong for its foundry services despite falling margins. TSMC's archrival in the foundry business, Hsinchu-based United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), reported a net profit of $200.6 million in the the first nine months of this year, a 2.8% drop compared to the same period in 1996.
