Every time someone comments on HG holding the shares...a Form 4 pops up a few day later. Let's hope it is different this time.
Not exactly from the Wall Street Journal....but I'll take it.
Looks like the S & P is giving us the finger pattern.
LWSN up smartly in premarket.
JimLur: Are you factoring in the resoultion of the NOK/SAM matters in your $35 price target?
I think Maria is doing a piece on companies in cancer research tonite. Maybe ARIA will be mentioned?
I think his broker is a little conservative.
Thats what I suspected. Thanks.
Thanks for nothing. Anyone have a rational, adult reply?
I am somewhat of a neophyte....could you tell me how AG directly influences positive market action.
Its been a very strange week !

I checked the Piper-Jaffrey website. There is no indication that Samuel S. May has initiated coverage. I think its a phoney
MSFT wins appeal on java case.
TC..See post #34230..earnings revision.
Please post his reply...if you get one.
New analyst already listed on IDCC web page.
I guess he must know something about the wireless industry.
He also covers NOKIA.
John Lau of RBC folows RF Micro and AMD. He could be the one.
Dain Rauscher Info:

Dain Rauscher moving part of operations to New York
Benno Groeneveld
Web reporter
RBC Dain Rauscher continues to move parts of its financial operations out of its Twin Cities office to New York and other financial centers.
Spokesman Dan Callahan said the transfers are part of the firm's development. "We have been migrating for three years out to where the business is," he said.
Callahan noted that moving to larger financial centers than the Twin Cities is not just a Dain Rauscher phenomenon; there are similar moves under way at US Bancorp Piper Jaffray's operations, he said.
The latest relocation is scheduled to take place later this year, when Peter Grant, who heads RBC Financial's equity capital group, will move to Wall Street with his staff, according to a report in the Star Tribune.
Dain Rauscher Wessels, formerly the U.S. Equity Capital Markets division of Minneapolis-based Dain Rauscher Inc., was bought by the Royal Bank of Canada in 2001 for $1.5 billion. The company was renamed RBC Capital Markets.
Since it was bought, the firm has laid off about half of its 300 analysts and other investment personnel.

Zeev...Interested in HAUP at this level.
OT: Did you ever have a hot dog and a soda from a pushcart vendor? Don't know what you're missing.LOL
JimLur......Can't download the UBS Paine-Webber Report. Anyone know what it's all about?
Thanks. Confirms my feelings.
Do you like cris at this level ($4.10) ?
Thanks for the reply.
I bought in at 2.60. Do you have an exit price?

IBM Ramps Up Custom-Chip Delivery
James Maguire, www.NewsFactor.com
Hoping to grow its market share in the lucrative custom chip market, IBM (NYSE: IBM - news) has launched a chipmaking service that will streamline the design and manufacture of custom chips. IBM hopes its new Customized Control Processor (CCP) service will combine the best of both worlds: customization and efficiency. By fabricating system-on-a-chip (SOC) processors on pre-built cores, Big Blue expects to deliver custom chips with far greater speed.

The Secret of IBM's Staggering Success
IBM's primary thrust in its microprocessor business is custom chips, said Gartner analyst Richard Gordon. Its new CCP is an effort to "expand the market for 'semi-custom,' you might call it, or 'configurable custom,'" he told NewsFactor.
Forrester analyst Rob Enderle told NewsFactor that IBM's efforts "to use mass-production type technologies to build a custom kind of chip could do some interesting things for them in the embedded market, which is where those chips play."
Building Its Business
IBM's current list of chip clients includes some industry heavyweights, like Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM - news) and Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA - news), and the company has alliances with chipmaking giants AMD (NYSE: AMD - news) and Sony (NYSE: SNE - news). By streamlining its design process with CCP, the company hopes to become the vendor of choice for the many consumer electronics manufacturers who do not have their own chipmaking facilities. The goal is to place IBM-fabricated chips in a plethora of devices like personal digital assistants and cell phones.
Industry observers also expect that CCP will enable IBM to grow its business among network gear manufacturers. The initial designs to be fabricated by the CCP service most probably will be in networking gear like routers and switches.
New Niche
IBM Microelectronics already has a "boutique" chip service, its application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) program, in which it fabricates chips to order from scratch. "An ASIC is custom designed for one customer -- it has a very protracted and intense design phase for one specific use," Gordon said.
It also has a standard chip business, building mass-produced processors. The company hopes its new CCP service will bridge these two existing programs.
"A configurable core like this will fit in a programmable device, which means you can use a standard offering and let the customer tweak it for their own needs," Gordon said.
Shorter Delivery
The goal of the CCP service is to trim development time from the delivery of custom chips using IBM's pre-built PowerPC 405. Chip designers will focus on adding individual specifications for each client to this core processor, thereby delivering a custom chip in as much as six months to a year faster than if it had been designed from scratch.
"Often, when you're researching a new technology, a lot of the cost goes into the trial platforms that are developed," Enderle said. "So if you lower the cost of the trials, you can experiment at a much greater pace and much lower cost.
"If it proves out, it could be significant feather in IBM's cap, and provide them with a competitive edge," he said.
If all goes according to plan, IBM will increase its bottom line by delivering custom chips to manufacturers who in turn will be able to gain competitive advantage by by acquiring custom chip with a greatly reduced lead time.
IBM representatives were not immediately available for comment.

Bought some today on the advise of a friend. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned on this board previously.
Anyone have an opinion on LPSN? I recall seeing it mentioned here not too long ago.
I think it would take at least 90 days to put it all in writing.
