Hi Tom...

WFR looks like it may be close to the bottom...still some time...

Another little chip co...looks interesting...MLIN

"SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro Linear Corp. (Nasdaq:
MLIN - news) today announced a patent-pending chip that contains the
control circuitry for the electronic ballasts used in compact
fluorescent lamps (CFL). The new high-brightness compact lamps will
replace ''long bulb'' fluorescent fixtures, incandescent bulbs, and
halogen lamps in homes, hotels and offices."

Did some research on WFR recently. As long as they can keep afloat they will be in a good position eventually. Overcapcity and low prices = bankrputcy for many of their competitors eventually leading to higher prices and better days.

I have been and will continue to watch this one.

Tom I added WFR to my list when you first mentioned it and set a target of 3 (at the time a ridiculous figure). My alarm went off the other day and I resisted the urge to pick some up. I am not sure if this is the bottom or not, but I don't think it's time for the semiconductor rebound just yet....
