DRAM: Is there any other business where prices can be so volatile? I mean, a couple of months ago, we were facing sub-$4 parts. Now, $15? That is an incredible move. But, in a few months it can all collapse around itself and be right back at $4.

So, in essence, the SemiCaps' stock prices (as deemed proper by Wall Street and Mssrs. Supply & Demand) reflect simply the pricing vagaries of their largest customers' most discrete end product?

If they did not bid these things up so much, the goofy momentum-traders would really annoy me ... sending the things up and down 6% in a 24 hour period ...

I have lightened my LRCX position considerably ... though it is still greater than 20% of my portfolio (which, to you MPTers/Closet Indexers is still "unreasonably risky ... verging on idiotic" ...). In the mid-sixties, I not only feel vindicated, I feel rich ... and I would like to stay that way in order to prepare for the next cycle ...

Which is not to say that I do not have a considerable amount of capital invested in LRCX. I do and I will ... until we see the turnaround truly manifest itself ... and get the appreciation/recognition it deserves.
