Etch, There has been some "movement" in their predictions over the past year or so. However, it is hard to keep track of their exact predictions as they upgrade every few weeks.

The important point is what they are predicting now, which is a peaking of semi-equip orders in the next few months. We have had a slight rise in Bookings recently which can be seen by looking at Gottfried's charts or the tabular data listed in,

Compared to past cycles, the amount of increase the last few months is quite small. CSFB is predicting the numbers might increase for the next 2 to 4 months, but then that is it - that is the peak - from there the trend is downward. With continued growth in semiconductor output for 06, 07, and 08, I find that scenario hard to believe, but what I believe is not important. The likes of the CSFB's of the world are what is driving the market.
