lukewarm recovery which semis are NOT priced for--they remain grossly overpriced.

The guys at Micron have been much more sucessful at controlling their market for many years then what ENRON tried to do and failed. I can't predict that 256 DRAM chips, currently @ $ 9 ea will be $ 20 ea in 3 months or $ 3 ea.
I wouldn't take more then 1 fab "going down" or another going online to cause the price swings described above. My preference is a political crisis that takes Korean or Tawaniese production offline temporally to get corporations buying computers in masse with cheap AG dollars before they go up $200 in price for 512 MB DRAM required for XP. Most companies I know are way behind the 3 yr computer life cycle and is planning to replace 40-50% of their computers this year.
That would solve most of the semi equipment mfgs. woes quickly.
