WSC considers stronger action in IC dumping CARLSBAD, Calif. - During the World Semiconductor Council meeting here last month, a stronger stand against chip dumping was adopted at the bequest of the European Electronic Components Manufacturers Association (EECA) and the U.S.-based Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The WSC's Joint Steering Committee was charged with the task of coming up with recommendations to curb divisive chip dumping. The WSC will bring up those proposals at its next meeting in 1999 in Europe and potentially will ask the companion government World Semiconductor Forum to take action. Jurgen Knorr, former head of Siemens AG's semiconductor group and now head of the European Union's Medea research consortium, also told the WSC that the Europeans are nearing the end of a fact-finding study of possible DRAM dumping by Japan and Korea. He said a report will be submitted to the EU by the end of May. The SIA's Steve Appleton, chairman of Micron Technology Inc., expressed support for the European DRAM dumping investigation, but held back from saying what his own firm would do. Micron has been rumored for months to be contemplating filing its own DRAM dumping case against Japan, Korea and Taiwan. When asked about it at the WSC meeting in Carlsbad, Calif., Appleton merely reiterated his long-standing position: "We're continuing to keep our options open." - Jack Robertson pubs.cmpnet.com

About 60% of Micron's total memory output is already in 64-Mbit DRAMs, according to Steve Appleton, company chairman and CEO. Micron moves faster than usual in bid to be big 64-Mbit player pubs.cmpnet.com

DavidG If KTEL is optionable, you can do your favourite thing and buy puts. I had teh same problem in shorting ENMD. The puts turned out to be TOO expensive. Good Luck ratan

David, Forget shorting KTEL. I believe there are only 1MM shares in free float i.e. not held by insiders. Plus I suspect some of those 1MM shares are being converted out of the street name into actual certificates which of course further reduces available shares to short unless a brokerage firm can set up a deal to borrow some shares from an insider - not a likely proposition. Although, those MMs have to be shorting the living bejebers out of it to provide the turnover. -g- No way for the little guy, though. Regards, DWW
