The fact that some Korean firms have cancelled equipt. orders is common knowledge since KLIC's warnings. I think it's highly unlikely that MU's management has any inside information on additional cancellations; neither the Koreans nor the equipt. companies would be likely to share that information with them. So I suspect they were referring to the already announced cancellations, and that SHOULD not have a significant impact on the market tomorrow.

Hopefully all the bad news about MU has been already discounted into the price.
$22.50 is low, can it go lower?

For fun overlay DELL's chart onto MU. Same dips, and rallies, But MU sold off worse.

Kumar,
AMAT gets paid 90% up front upon placement of the order,
10% upon sign-off acceptance of the equipment. No equip
manufacturer would place equipment without the cash up
front. Puzzled by this comment, unless it means that
revenues aren't enough to pay creditors who lent money
against the equipment purchase.

Any thoughts?
