der semiconducter bereich wird 2000 ein sehr gutes jahr erleben:
production shortage aufgrund starker nachfrage ueberall wo man hinsieht; intel ruestet schon mit kapazitaetsausbau auf.

Micron ist mit einem p/e von 49/24 fuer 2000/01 noch recht guenstig. die wachstumsraten sind ueberdies substantiell.
