When TJ Rodgers last appeared on CNBC shortly after the December earnings warning was announced, he talked about a research paper which he wrote. The theme of the paper focused on the trading of semiconductor stocks. Under the circumstances, nobody should rely upon that paper. I do not understand something. How could Cypress, under TJ's leadership, operate at or near capacity and merely break-even? To rephrase this, how could TJ not make shareholders any money?

Larry wondered how "TJ couldn't make any money for his shareholders". Could it be because he is clueless as to what he is doing. Earnings report reads like CY is dead money for the rest of 1998. Not very encouraging. CY hasn't caught the Asian flu it's caught Pasturella Pestis aka the Bubonic Plaque aka the black death. The Bermuda Triangle maybe a merciful end for a once great company. Sure would like to send TJ to check it out. Good luck broom riders and gluttons you will certainly need it. Al
