Marc,

Agree with everything you said. What makes the current downturn so painful is that it is occurring while many money-making-less firms(ie nets) are once again sailing along at absurd valuations, while AMAT, a Gorilla in its own right, is languishing at about 20 FY00 earnings. How many companies have NM's of 17%+ and a stranglehold on the sector in which they operate? The only ones that immediately come to mind are MSFT & CSCO. When was the last time either of these traded at 20X earnings????
