I really wasn't referring to a 'recession' in the general sense.

I was contemplating the likelihood of a second trough, equal to or worse than the horrible one we're supposed to be emerging from, in the semiconductor/computer industry.

It's not a matter of perception ('fear') since the scale of the warnings during the last 48 hours, especially that huge revenue shortfall from AMD, is telling us that the double dip is, in effect, a reality.

When equipment stocks continue to slide in the face of such compelling BtB numbers, it is my (EXTREMELY) humble opinion that this sector might deserve an 'avoid' rating for the next 6-9 months.

During the era when I was a bull, I made countless egregiously bad calls for the equipment stocks. The odds favor my ongoing ineptitude at prognostication.
