re: fourth possibility for financing equipment purchases:

I thought of that, and dismissed it. In the middle of an upturn, or (better yet, from the companies' point of view) at the peak of a cycle, maybe a semi company can have a successful IPO or secondary stock offering. As I recall, Micron had a well-recieved secondary stock offering when their stock was flying high in 1995. But we're talking about how you finance equipment purchases in downturns. Could Micron have had a secondary stock offering in mid-1996, or today? To say it would be poorly recieved would be an understatement. Or how about those Korean companies with debts of 500% of equity? It would be laughed off the Street.
