Shane, DRAM news... [source Bloomberg May 11.1998] To understand how the Asian contagion can spread, look no further than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Nan Ya Plastics Corp. or Yieh Phui Enterprise Co. All three Taiwanese companies - the first makes computer memory chips, the second petrochemicals and the third steel - said sales fell in April for the same reason: Slowing growth and weakening currencies across Asia. And all said business may not pick up soon. Taiwan, once seemingly immune to the economic troubles of its neighbors, is slowly but surely starting to share their pain. Exports are falling and growth is slowing. Corporate profits are bound to suffer, too, many executives said. Stock-market investors should take heed. bloomberg.com [scroll down] GM
