<<...how you think the current cycle will play out...>>

Right now I am pulling back a bit from the market on these recent run-ups. I still see the economy as being too shaky. What I am looking for is a weak summer retreat along with further signs that the economy is really improving. I will look to get fully invested by September if things look ok.

As for investments - semi eq (LRCX - pure play in etch w/ good product, strong management), AMAT( turnaround - a lot of fat can be trimmed here, and they could get back into etch if MRAM becomes a reality) and semis (LSI and maybe CY, XLNX?). Networking (JNPR & CSCO - David and Goliath).
...I still need to do a lot of digging into PC market (can Gateway make a comeback?) Software (why is Ellicson so afraid of PeopleSoft?).
...But again - I see no reason to hurry - yet.

FYI - my real bread and butter is buying clobbered stocks for a turnaround. Worked great up to the bubble collapse and pretty lousy since then. Once the economy starts rolling again I will go back to bottom feeding.
