<You can't be making the argument that management at every semi-equipment company is not "watching out for their shareholders", because of stock price volatility in the sector. <

Exactly! I think that anyone that invests in semi-equips needs to accept the fact that the sector is very cyclical and, hence, very volatile. When things are good the stock prices will become unreasonably high(I say unreasonable because of the cyclicality of the biz) and when things don't look so good they will get unreasonably low. There's two ways you can play this, try to sell near the highs and buy near the lows(always easier said than done) or you can ride it out since it is an industry that will continue to grow at a 25%+ rate over the long term.
