(AMAT down in after hours continued)

Did a bit of checking. ASMLF did warn:

Shares of ASM Lithography Inc. (ASMLF) is
poised to fall Friday after the chip-equipment
manufacturer said it expects fiscal 1998 earnings to
fall below fiscal 1997 results. The company
attributed the weak results to overall softness in the
capital equipment market and order reductions by
Taiwanese customers. In 1997, ASM earned
$1.08 a share, and analysts expected
approximately $1.52 in fiscal 1998. Last week,
CIBC Oppenheimer downgraded the shares to
"buy" from "strong buy." Shares closed down 2
15/16 at 34 5/16 ahead of the news.

+ CPQ will be short 1 c
+ Aetrium busted today
+ WFR warned

the beat goes on...

Maybe it is Taiwan - maybe it is just the fact that when the dominant (such as ASMLF) fall the consensus is that business conditions are really poor and hence even the mighty like AMAT will be affected...
