Uh oh. I think we may have the first sign of a top. The last time anyone predicted an upswing longer than 2-3 years was 1995 (no more cycles!).

I didn't see the presentation, but the press release doesn't indicate a good grasp of industry dynamics. Huge demand results in huge capacity increases, whether from existing companies or new ones. 18 months later when all that capacity comes online, well... look at 1996.
