hi bunky

Well I dipped my foot in a few days too early but I'm
bullish on the sector and will continue to add. Most of the
chip campanies have forecssted strong demand. In gerneral
when fabs start adding equipment it's because they are at
full capacity. The CEO sold some stock at the begining of
the week from 8.71 down to around 8.30 but he is still
holding ~700,000 shares.

I'd hate to put a number on it but after reading BRCM's conf call and listening to their CEO it sounds like chip demand is going to continue upward. Every chip that is made has to bonded to a package.....

all imo
