Mike, With your arguments, it sounds as if you seldom take any real profits home. You don't really expect to profit by overweighting a backward looking earnings number over a forward looking Book to Bill, do you???? Absolutely amazing. Do you really believe the market took PRIA to $50 based upon a forecast loss of 20½? ... or is there any chance that just maybe, the market is already looking beyond last quarter and the next 1 or 2? Given PRIA's near monopoly in automating fabs, might it stand a chance of getting any of the business from the 25 + fabs that are being equipped during the next year? RE the following quote: What an incredibly pompous, misleading if not an out and out lie, incredibly ignorant statement to make. I don't want to sound negative, but I believe the book to bill issue is being used to disguise the incredibly horrid financial numbers. Ian. P.S. If I ever form a strong opinion on this latter statement, I'll be sure to let you know.
