Wes, thank you for posting your observations. You said >The last real peak (in terms of equipment orders) was early 1996, but the stocks of these companies peaked around late summer 1995<

True, but the next orders peak was at the end of '97 and the stocks had peaked about 2 months before that. Some may say that particular cycle was cut short by the Asian flu.

In any case, the prices start dropping well before orders peak. [at least 2 months]. Your observation of unbridled
analyst optimism just near the price peak is one to remember.

Here's the relevant chart
