Dan: That's what I was thinking on the options. I made 3/4 of a point on the go-round in a short time. I thought that when VLSI goes up again (hopefully this afternoon <gg>) I could sell them again. But I got nervous when I saw the stock going lower. Thanks for the information and point of view. Linda

So much for the 'don't short at 19' and '18's the bottom' theories. More buying opportunities..., uh huh. the sizable volume has me somewhat skeptical about averaging down here. Well VLSI's book value has went up a buck.., that s/be worth some extra support I would think. And though estimates have come down, the high/low range is narrowing, indicating greater visibillity. Greenspans comments about 'no solution in sight' for Asia has me somewhat concerned, though the market/dollar-yen exchange is acting optimisticly. Pardon the Asian digression, but what I don't get is that the macro evidence is saying it's gotten worse recently(IMF), or at least not better (Greenspan), while a vast majority of reporting companies seem to indicate that the worst is over (INTC, VLSI, DSPG, others). Does anyone here try to factor in these things? Also, can someone post url's about the VLSI buyout rumours that are NOT from a bulletin board? I personally have a hard time imagining a company that could synergistically blend with VLSI due to it's broad range of products. Just my opinion, of course, but then what is a 'buyout rumour' but some one's opinion? crankily yours.., -Kevin

TA on VLSI? What's the latest, Dan? Along with the major averages, the charts look like it could go either way, but it definitely seems like it is at a critical point now. If it drops a few quarters from here, looks like the $15s again? If it holds and can get back to the $18s, looks like it can go to $20. What's the trend? Watching DWRX. Looks like it wants to bottom out, but hasn't made a decision yet! Thanks for the "warning on SDTI", looks to be heading lower than $15.50 when I asked about it, much lower! (Watch it open up on Monday.) Regards, Paul
