Michael, from your linked post >If the past 2 cycles are useful for predicting the future, I would suggest buying into semiconductor companies after bookings show a significant rebound off of a low (see Nov/Dec 98, Sep/Oct 96).<

You'll be too late [but may still profit]. Remember that semi equipment bookings are posted about 3 weeks after the month has ended. [Feb 20. for Jan numbers]. Also, it seems in THIS cycle price has followed btb, not bookings.

If you want to see it charted geocities.com
Look at...
SEMI orders/shipments/btb
... and at the AMAT charts here...
selected semi equipment stock prices vs SEMI orders
selected semi equipment stock prices vs SEMI btb ratio
