Could it be interpreted that SFAM's management is very concerned that others
(AMAT) might be catching up and eroding their advantages in the market?


SFAM has likely had these concerns for a long time. A great product
may give them a few years, but long-term viability in this industry
will require consistently great new products delivered in a timely
manner. This is at the heart of my concerns re: when will the
R&D and capital investment end, or can it? If the industry is
very competitive, thereby limiting pricing flexibility at the same
time it requires high ongoing capital expenditures (making
cash flows negative forever), then where's the value?
