aber Infineon wurde genau zum richtigen zeit punkt von mir empfohlen. ich denke es wird die nächsten tage noch weiter aufwärts gehen. die gründe sind zum großen teil oben schon aufgeführt. auf die folgende nachricht stimmt mich positiv. wenn die zinsen sinken scheinen einige leute weiter long gehen zu wollen.
FRANKFURT (AFX) - Infineon Technologies AG was the main riser late
afternoon, with the benefits of tech gains on Wall Street buttressed by hopes of
rates cuts this week as well as positive comments on the sector from Goldman
Sachs, dealers said.
At 4.44 pm, Infineon was up 1.58 eur or 8.90 pct at 19.33, while the DAX 30
index was up 146.72 points or 3.20 pct at 4,729.13.
Dealers said Infineon has been partially lifted by some short covering, but
that the main reason is the hope that the US Federal Open Market Committee and
the European Central Bank will ease monetary policy further this week.
"Infineon, (like other members of the Siemens-family) is a rates sensitive
stock," said one dealer.
"My strategy is to play Infineon long at least until the (FOMC's) rates
decision tomorrow and I'll re-evaluate my position from there," said another
trader.
Meanwhile, the play was continuing to benefit from the better-than-expected
Semiconductor Industry Association (SAI) figures for September, which were
released late last week.
In a note today, Goldman Sachs said it was cheered by the 34.3 pct
month-on-month rise in total shipments in September, and although shipments
slipped 40.7 pct year-on-year, it was the first improvement in year-on-year
comparisons this cycle -- better than the 48 pct slump recorded in August.
While the broker does not hold out much hope for an improvement in chip
prices before the year end, it does expect "pricing to turn significantly for
the better" into 2002.
"Most investors have written this year off," said one trader. "Anyone
investing now is buying into the hope of a pick-up in the economy next year."
Meanwhile, a trader said Infineon is being buoyed partially by anecdotal
evidence that the demand for Smart-Charts -- used as entry cards into offices --
has surged since the terrorist attacks on Sept 11.
