re. "That puts the start of the slump in late 2000 or early 2001."

Thanks, Katherine, for your estimate of the situation.

I suppose you're right that "18 months to build a fab" is an intrinsic timescale that helps determine the time between boom and bust, for orders. Probably a bust that is driven by overcapacity can't materialize faster than that.

If your guess is right, "start of the slump in late 2000 or early 2001," then I would guess we would see a slump in stock prices beginning roughly in the summer or fall of 2000. The stock market always seems to lead a slump in orders.

OT - does anybody know why a quote for LRCX appears at the bottom of the window for this thread? I wonder if we could ask Bob to get a quote for the SOX index, instead.
