Meghan, The king of gross margin in your list would still be LLTC with MXIM close behind. However, I would value more of ADI, especially after it is near the year low. ADI still has unique products which LLTC lacks to make a killing in the future. LLTC, MXIM, and MCRL are all concentrating in the lower frequency analog stuff. ADI has both analog and digital lines. With Friday's big sell-off of LLTC with the earnings just a couple of business days away, do you think something might have leaked out about the result of this earnings or even the following conference call? Speaking of Micrel, I heard this company is looking for a field applications engineer in Detroit area (pay up to $130K). It looks like Micrel is trying to get into the automotive industry big time. In automotive industry, although the volume is very high, the Big Three (GM, Ford, and Chrysler) do very much dictate how much money you can make doing business with them. The profit margin is very thin. Regards, Time Traveler
