Paul, so it's the boomers, eh? I won't argue with that nor will I depend on it. When they start spending in 2008 that will stimulate the economy, hence improve earnings. :)

For a further soothing please read this entirely sensible assessment of the inflation and interest rate picture.
smartmoney.com

Some have taken the latest 0.7 monthly inflation rate and
extrapolated it to 9% annual inflation - based on ONE months data. Paul R. La Monica in his article "Confront Your Fears" disabuses that type of thinking rationally, I feel.

Have a nice weekend. Nothing has changed in semi equipment land. Except stock prices.
