RE: "... I sold a few shares at $30... but I really didn't expect it to return to under $25 again..."

I don't understand how you can have any real expectations. There are uncertainties in the geopolitical situation and the macroeconomic situation. The semiconductor industry doesn't have the traditional cycles and the market has not come up with any model for industry valuations. The analyst community is working one quarter at a time and has no clue about what a quarterly up or down move means. The old price to book ratios that marked cycle bottoms are not useful any more because there is no reliable cycle peak anywhere on the horizon. Is the industry cyclical, growth, or cyclical growth? Are some companies cyclical and others growth? Will consolidation eliminate many smaller players and some bigger ones? Why do I persist on investing in these companies? Feel free to present answers to any or all questions.
