A "Market Risk" and "Sector Risk" Perspective! I am a student of the market and I trade based on TA almost exclusively. I would like to offer a few graphical illustrations that i rely on to determine the Risk Level of any purchase and why i feel the risk level of the Semi sector is minimal at this point! First of all the Semi Sector has been getting sold off for the past 5 weeks and the risk level is near the level where it was in December of last year (when everybody was bashing the semis). Illustrated securitytrader.com AS for the current Market Risk, it is quite high securitytrader.com as compared to where the risk level was in January of this year securitytrader.com as a matter of fact the risk level is nearly as high as it was in October of last year before the mini-crash securitytrader.com While i am not here to say exactly where support is for INTC, i am certainly a buyer of Semis at this level based on their Risk level as compared to other sectors.

Please also take a look at the following post: To: +margaret tasset (18906 ) From: +Frank Ellis Morris Tuesday, Apr 7 1998 6:02AM ET Reply # of 18925 Good morning Margaret, It seems to me that as a shareholder Intel would better serve its investors by addressing the important issues like what plans does it have in the future to make computers which use its chips more advantageous over its competition. Instead Intel discusses the salary and bonus package of its chief Ceo. I thought this was a little arrogant and foolish of them yesterday. Maybe intel needs a better public relations and press coordinator Have a nice Tuesday Frank ________________________________________ * Piper Jaffray said it initiated coverage of ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES INC with a buy rating and a 12-month price target of $40. Among points in report said, "We have been able to confirm that IBM is indeed injecting capital into the company and plans to use AMD as an instrument in its last stand against INTEL CORP." (Reuters 11:00 AM ET 04/06/98) * NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORP said it will put an entire PC system on a single chip by mid-1999, a move that should dramatically lower the cost of PCs for manufacturers and consumers. The single chip would replace the 12 or more separate chips typically found in a PC today and expand the entry-level market for PCs. National said its PC on a chip is being built around microprocessor cores developed by Cyrix, the processor company it acquired in November. National plans to make the chips at its new wafer fabrication facility in Maine on 0.25-micron process technology that can be further scaled down to 0.18 micron. National said it is defining versions of the chip for major PC and information appliance makers.(Reuters 08:07 AM ET 04/06/98) * INTEL CORP gave CEO Andy Grove a compensation package worth over $3 million in 1997, a proxy statement said. Grove's base salary last year was $465,000 and his bonus was $2,790,400, both slight increases from 1996, when they were $425,000 and $2,578,300, respectively. In 1995, Grove's salary totalled $400,000 and he received a $2,356,700 bonus. The company also announced in the proxy filed with the SEC that it had granted Grove options to purchase 72,000 shares of Intel stock at an exercise price of $69.69, expiring April 22, 2007. They are first exercisable in 2002. (Reuters 10:56 AM ET 04/06/98) _________________________________________
