Hi Brian,

The law of big numbers come in to play here also.

15% of a smaller industry and 6.5% of a fast growing but 10-15 year older industry could well support the same level of equipment makers - especially as M&A reduces the players AND these boys have been to the rodeo of "rightsizing" more then once before.

In all, a great growth industry opportunity to those who create the next level of required equipment.

Market share gains are still the end product of R&D that works and great wealth will go to those.

In short a stock pickers dream,but no longer the tide that lifts all boats - for some.

Bob
