Hi UE, WOW! Thanks for the review. Yes Cy is the chip maker the rest are equipment makers for the chip companies. I have sold puts on CY. Puts with a strike price of 12.00. If Cypress close below 12.00 on January 2018 then I get to buy CY at a net price of 10.95. That would yield just over 4.%. ( 44 cent dividend) Cypress has morphed from a commodity memory chip maker to the third largest auto chip maker over the last 2 years. They also have a new generation 3.0 USB that is just now beginning to get engineered into future designs - confirmed to be required with the Oculus (virtual reality mask) and rumored to be adopted by both Samsung and Aapl for their new OLED phones. A good long term buy and hold story with a dividend that pays one higher than banks do and at a favorable tax rate (20%). A place to park money and even get a return. I sell long term puts to maximize time premium which minimizes net price and gives a better long term dividend yield. I only sell puts on stock I like and would not mind holding long term for a capital gain. Cy has some debt as they just also paid cash(550 million) for Broadcom's internet of things division which has been immediately accretive and growing faster than anticipated. I do hate debt the other two Cohu and Brks have millions in cash and NO BANK DEBT! Thanks again UE!! Bob
