<<manufacturers of semiconductor equipment report Feb book to bill 0.81. That is an 18% drop from January's .99>>

And all of the change was from a drop in new orders (the "book" part). Shipping (the "bill" part) hardly changed.

Remember that this number is a THREE-MONTH moving average. So October dropped out and January was added in. In other words, January was a total, unmitigated disaster.
