Raised Atmel Corp. target to $26 a share from $22. Thanks Kent...That must have been the news I was referring to earlier. Good to see we are getting an upgrade. Maybe there will be more to follow.

I'm assuming the little guys who are confused about the earnings are bailing. I will find out tonight when I see the BOP. But just to add to the ad-nausium, I have traded semis and this stock since 94-95. These are normal numbers for the semis. They write down expenses like chips that go obsolete and FAB facilities, etc. You can argue all you want about whether it is ethical or not. It is done and accepted by the analysts as proven by this upgrade. Joe P.
