Micron's bulls, defying the bubble. (stock performance)

Article Abstract:

Despite reporting revenue drops of close to 50%, Micron Technology's shares are currently trading at 17% higher than the beginning of the year. Micron's market capitalization of $24 billion makes it third in the industry after Intel and Texas Instruments, both of which have lost large amounts of market value this year. With a high price-to-sales ratio of 5.6, some analysts are turning toward a sell position on Micron.

Laptop chip maker doubles price on opening day

Article Abstract:

Santa Clara microprocessor company Transmeta's initial public offering began at $21 and ended at $45.25 for the day. The $6 billion capitalization is an attempt to throw the company's Crusoe chip into competition with giant Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. Analysts see success for Transmeta in its ability to turn out more products, with more power. Analyst Ashok Kumar feels the Crusoe is "overhyped".
