More of the same. Atmel falls 41.5% because it failed to make a Q4 profit. IMHO at some point there's going to have to be some sort of watershed effect across the board, sector cycles or not..... from Yahoo business news online ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW YORK, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Shares in Atmel Corp tumbled in pre-opening trade Wednesday after the maker of integrated circuits said it would report a fourth-quarter loss. ''Atmel is getting hammered,'' a trader said. The shares were trading down at 13-3/4 from a Tuesday closing price of 19-6/16. The company said late Tuesday it would report a fourth-quarter loss after taking a $160 million charge for inventory writedowns. It said some Asian customers were unable to get credit for purchases. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JD
