DVD Video Player Production To Climb 200% In 1998 - EIAJ 12/22/97 TOKYO, JAPAN, 1997 DEC 22 (NB) -- By Martyn Williams, Newsbytes. Production of DVD-Video players in Japan is expected to increase sharply in 1998, according to estimates from the Electronic Industries Association of Japan (EIAJ). The industry group told Newsbytes it estimates total domestic production of DVD players in 1997 totaled 800,000 units, or 34.0 billion yen ($261.9 million) in value terms. For 1998, the EIAJ forecasts total production of 2,490,000 units, an increase of 211 percent on this year. By total value, the group said total production will be worth 99.6 billion yen ($767.3 million), up 193 percent on 1997. Figures for DVD players were not included in the association's recently released forecast for the entire Japanese electronics industry because they are still not broken out in figures produced by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. Exchange rate: $1 = 129.80 yen Reported By Newsbytes News Network: newsbytes.com

Chia-Bin: I tend to agree with you on LSI trending upward from here on out. There could be one final, rather small, dip in LSI before year end, but it doesn't look like it'll be a very large dip. I'll be surprised if it falls below $20 again. However, the semi's are down today, with LSCC leading the way down. For those who got in < $20, you may've caught the bottom! So, there goes my selling Jan $20 puts on LSI as a way to open a long position on LSI. Good Trading All, John Dodson
