G, that was a good post and one that I can agree with 100%. KLAC is one of the stocks I have been waiting on to reach a long term monthly bottom. You will see what I mean on this chart:

The guy who posted suggested that KLAC might need to double bottom at 28 to give off a buy signal that he has in the past seen as dependable:

There are pro's and cons to your argument about a much lower soxx.If you go back and check previous posts by me I had stated that the "turning point" in the past always seemed to be a double bottom on KLAC.That would mean that klac would have to go to around 28 or so.This would imply yet another 20% downside(at least).That would put the soxx in the 250 range and rysix in the 7.50 range.However,klic seems to be fairly priced when viewed by P/S and P/B bottom standards.So,I would expect Klac and amat to drop some more on a comparison basis to klic.I really do hopr that rysix gets down to the 7.50 level--it would do wonders to my average price!!
The recovery IS here though and I fully expect it to show after Labor day.I am in the capitol equipment business and the past week has shown that suddenly everyone is buying.This is after nearly 8 months of NOTHING!!We sell to a broad range of industries and it would seem that they are all turning around(this past week).In light of the opinion that the recovery MUST be led by technology in general and chips in particular,one could do a lot worse than buying these stocks now.Come September,I see the inevitable turn around of the semi industry.JMHO
Also the turn around in September to October is something that many would feel more likely to be more traditional bottom territory than perhaps what we have already had happen since the last week of July.
