jtechkid,

I am constantly amazed. I just read more "happy talk" following KLIC's announcement. I wonder if people are even looking at the size of that cancelled order. That is 100 bonders! I don't know what they cost but lets say for arguments sake that they are $500,000 (just a guess. Does someone have a more accurate figure?). This makes it 50 million of revenue lost. This is 40% of their revenue for a quarter. And this is just one customer.

Personally, I am floored by the size of the cancellation. This recent tech run is pure momentum and liquidity-based so all I can say is watch out when the sentiment turns, which could be tomorrow.
