GM, The report has been posted here before and all over SI. Many respondents to the report have accused the firm of some big money losing calls in the past, so I'm not sure how seriously to take their analysis. techstocks.com FWIW, Bob

GM....more bad news from reuters TI <TXN.N> sees chip growth 5 pct or less SAN FRANCISCO, April 29 (Reuters) - Texas Instruments Inc has adjusted its worldwide forecast for semiconductor industry growth to 5 percent or less this year due to near-term caution in the Americas and weakness in Japan, a top executive said on Wednesday. "We have adjusted our worldwide forecast to 5 percent or less this year," Rich Templeton, executive vice president of Texas Instruments, told the Hambrecht & Quist technnology conference here. He added, however, that Texas Instruments continues to see strength in the communications, wireless and networking markets, with over 30 percent growth in the so-called digital signal processor market. Market research firm Dataquest Inc. on Tuesday said 1998 would be a mediocre year for the semiconductor industry with shipments growing at 8 percent -- less than half of what it predicted seven months ago. Texas Instruments remained cautious about the near term in the Americas, he said. The Japanese market was weak, China and Hong Kong were reasonably strong, while Europe remained a bright spot, he said. 13:38 04-29-98

Gottfried, Find the following DW Data. I have added the Option BP (opti), Stocks above 10 and 30 week moving average and Hi/Low Index. Hope the total data will give us additional data for our research. I draw lines from the previous months to give me a visual of movement. IMO, the market is moving South. Go to the Point and Figure Charting site--see comments of P&F Madness.
