Zeev,

I believe that:

the 300mm build will most likely happen during this cycle;
migration to Cu will also occur during the cycle;
migration to smaller feature sizes will be close to a neverending process;

and that this will result in very significant earnings growth for the gorillas providing the required technology for those thrusts.

I further believe that capacity shortfalls will keep this cycle going beyond the current 2002 estimate for the cycle peak. i.e. Greenspan won't seriously screw up even though I also believe that the Fed has overshot the mark with the last couple hikes, and will be forced to either ease rates or add liquidity or both.

Thus, I see AMAT and several others easily setting new highs (price) even though I don't expect significant new highs for P/Es or PSRs, etc. The new highs will be based upon higher earnings, revenues, book value and free cash flow.

I'm not much for putting a number on things, but I do expect the sector to outperform the market and the NASDAQ 100 for at least the next 2-3 years.

Ian.
