The industry news cycle seems to be picking up speed lately. Of course, 30 days into the quarter is about when public companies announce their results, and in the midst of this worldwide financial situation, we’ve got all eyes on anything coming out from our counterparts in the industry. I’ve noticed that global corporate results (Nan Ya PCB and TTM, in particular) do seem to be on everyone’s radar.

I’ll be in Munich next week, reporting from electronica, meeting with many of our European friends; if you’re in Munich, say hello on the show floor. It promises to be an interesting event and I’m looking forward to covering the European market. Guten tag!
