If they locked in debt at low rates. it makes no sense to pay it off.

T and AAPL sold I think issued 1 percent 20 year bonds at the low in interest rates.

No idea if COHU was that lucky. I doubt they qualified for 1 percent bonds but lower than today's rates would be a plus.

I think it will be a trend for a lot of companies.

I think the chipmaker selection for the $52 billion started in September. I don't know what the rules were for selecting recipients.

However, this slowdown has been so hard that I expect a quick move back up once it re-starts. I just read this morning that a Japanese chipmaker is coming to California too.
