Here is your Money Mail for Thursday, June 7. BUZZ AT THE BELL The vagaries of semiconductor supply and demand once again drove stock trading -- this time to the delight of chip-stock investors. Thanks to a positive profit spin from National Semiconductor, stocks of companies that make chips and chip equipment soared. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.1 percent, climbing 46 to 2,264. The Dow Jones industrials and Standard & Poor's 500 closed fractionally higher. But shares in the semiconductor sector jumped more than 6 percent after National Semi, despite reporting a quarterly loss, projected better sales in the months ahead. The chip maker pointed out that its clients' semiconductor inventories have plummeted, suggesting they'll need to bump up their orders sometime soon. National Semi shares surged 11 percent to 31.04, while sector heavyweight Intel climbed 4.5 percent and Applied Micro Devices rose 6.7 percent. Chip makers' gains spread cheer to other corners of the technology arena. Computer networkers jumped 5 percent, propelled by a 5.1-percent gain in Cisco shares, and makers of electronic instruments rose 3.3 percent. About half of S&P industry groups advanced. Among the biggest decliners were tobacco stocks, defense contractors and photo-imaging companies. Shares of the most widely held companies generally rose, except for modest declines in International Business Machines, AOL TimeWarner, and Citigroup. Overall trading volume was light.
