Joe,

Something that was impressed upon me reading the article you posted yesterday

cbs.marketwatch.com

"Front-end equipment bookings are at a low point for this downturn," said SEMI Chief Executive Stanley Myers. "The improvement in overall equipment bookings was driven by a 50 percent increase in the final manufacturing bookings."

I interpret this to mean that while orders for equipment used to manufacture semis barely increased in January, chip production orders are up 50%. If that is correct, that is a fairly positive increase. If that trend continues, the equipment manufacturers should pick up soon too.
