Richard, re AMAT can't stay up for long in the face of
disappointing results from an industry giant like ETEC? <G>


Especially when btb is [horrors!] down. Actually
btb was rarely higher...

But that's the explanation given...
Charles Boucher, semiconductor industry analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, told CBS.MarketWatch.com that companies such as KLA-Tencor, Novellus and Applied Materials would have been affected by the report, because the book-to-bill ratio "was off a little bit from last month's report. Those stocks may be selling off."

Once again you see that we NEED these analysts to explain things.
