To: Bald Man from Mars (8944 ) From: William Grady Wednesday, Sep 2 1998 5:31PM ET Reply # of 8966 Bald Man, All you guys on this thread owe me; since I sold half of my Atmel to buy some VLSI, I have managed to turn Atmel around and it is now $1.25 higher than when I sold it. As for VLSI it is stuck around $9 the price I paid for it. Looking at these numbers VLSI looks like at least as good a value as Atmel. Am I missing something? ------------------- Atmel ------ VLSI Current Price ------ 7.75 ------ 8.81 P/E ----------------- NE ------ 7.3 Book Value --------- 6.84 ----- 12.08 Price/Book --------- .99 ------ .65 Price/Sales --------- .65 ------ .64 Price/Cash Flow ---- 6.9 ------ 2.5 EPS ----------------(.90) ----- 1.23 This Quarter Est. ---- .04 ----- .13 This Year Est. ------ .34 ------ .50 Debt/Equity -------- 1.10 ------ .31 Numer of shares --- 99.2M ---- 46.5M Cash --------------- 117M ---- 181M Cash/Per Share ----- 1.18 ----- 3.89 Long Term Debt ---- 749M --- 172M P.S. Not selling any more Atmel; waiting for bankrupcy. Congradulations on your Netscape purchase looks like your luck is changing. Looking at this post, they only have 3.89 cash/share. Why do people keep saying $7.00/share ?
