Ian,

RE: Morgan expects to better a $20B company before this cycle is done.

As far a public consumption is concerned, Morgan joins those posters who don't beleieve the cycle will end. So, his $20B is questionable. Since capacity is curently $14-15B, I am not sure that they will achieve margin improvement bringing on added capacity at the end of the cycle and not sure they will reach $20B.

But giving you a $6 EPS, my target goes from $90 to $120. I think that the market PE is for growth, not for cyclicals and the semi-equip warning flag has popped up prematurely and is not likely to completely fade from view. 20 PE it is.
