Carl, just one comment to your well thought out post. When IC growth become negative, that is usually the bottom of the cycle, it rarely become more than -5% maybe on a spike -8%, well we have just reached that level. Sure it could be an L bottom, but this will require a world wide recession, unless the macroeconomics point this way, I can say that this negative growth rate is the silver lining.

Having said all that, I am out of AMAT as of today since it reached my target of 34. For broader market reasons, I am stepping aside slowly taking off the table some chips. I think that we will face another Asia induced minimelt in our market within two to three months, and I do not mind leaving some on the table.
