Gottfried: <<Or, suspend reality and go along for the ride?>> Yeah, that would be easier than the churning I'm doing. I rode KLAC from 20 to 70 last time, and the decision matrix seemed so much simpler... A nice pear shaped, slightly flattened bottom <g>. Maybe I'm thinking too much...

Calendar EPS Summaries 4Q Ago EPS: $0.47 3Q Ago EPS: $0.60 2Q Ago EPS $0.37 Last Q EPS: $0.13>> Explained it in my original post, sorry if it wasn't clear enough: I created a "running" EPS to dampen the signal resulting from the sector "crash."
