I knew these guys when they came over from SEEQ and started Atmel, in fact I'm still waiting for the founder's stock they promised me (Ha!Ha!) |

Earnings are scheduled for July 20 ATB, unconfirmed. The only other thing I found was dated 7/3.... ThinkEquity notes that the SIA (Semiconductor Industry Association) released its May's monthly report of worldwide semi sales on Friday, and the strongest device classes were NOR flash (INTC, SPSN, ATML) and Microcontrollers (MCHP, FSL, ATML), while the weakest were microprocessors (INTC, AMD). Disclosure. As of 6/08/06 I'm long ATML |

If I remember correctly, ATML bought some French specialty chip company in the mid 90s complete with fab. Given the difficulty in laying off excess deadwood in France, the easiest way to deal with an obsolete fab and personnel would be to just dump the entire company; and move whatever operations one wants to sustain to the far east. |

Hey, I posted my opinion which I'm certainly entitled to! Like I said, if business at Atmel was so good they would have no reason to sell assets and cut costs... |
