Re: is the downtrend over?

No. I'm guessing the bottom will be sometime after January earnings reporting, after DRAM prices stop their free-fall, after semi-equips warn of an order slowdown, after a few more fab pushouts.

I don't quite understand what moves the market. KLAC, along with the rest of the industry, is down sharply. The reason given is that Indonesia is back-pedalling on their commitments to the IMF. What's the connection? That country has no fabs, and consumers there are end-users of very few chips. Korea, which does have a lot of fabs, is looking better in the last few days. The market seems to sell off all high-techs on any bad Asian news. This seems irrational to me. I'm going to keep watching, and buy later. This is not the bottom.
