Not stuffing but I notice a lot of beaten up semiconductor stocks like AGR, ATML, CNXT, JDSU, and VTSS have had a good run over the last two months. Is there is a good reason or is it a rising tide lifting most semiconductor stocks?

Balance sheets and revenues have been in the dumpster for a long time. There is evidence that is changing. If the evidence proves conclusive it will certainly be a case of a rising tide lifting all boats.

Balance sheets and revenues have been in the dumpster for a long time. There is evidence that is changing. There was an article in this morning's newspaper that supports your viewpoint. Highlights of the article are: 1. Global semiconductor sales topped $20 billion in October 2005, the highest one month total on record. This was an increase of 6.6% from $18.8 billion in October 2004. 2. Global semiconductor sales were $166.4 billion in 2003. 3. Global semiconductor sales hit a record high of $213 billion in 2004. 4. Global semiconductor sales are on track to rise 6.8% this year to $228 billion. 5. Before 2004 the record high for global semiconductor sales was $204.4 billion in 2000. 6. For the last 18 months consumer electronic devices have accounted for more than half of semiconductor sales.

Howard, I have a large holding in ATML, most between 2.03-2.12. If management ever gets the R&D cost down to a more reasonable number, this stock should rise quite nicely. I never have understood how ATML can spend such a huge amount and a high % of sales on R&D.

I don't mind the R&D spending. I can't understand why they haven't hit a home run with it! Disclosure, No current position.

Will ATML ever return to its IPO value? Has it ever split?

I believe ATML has split 4 times over the last 12 years.

So that would make it's current value at just a little over it's IPO price, I believe.
