Ian, <<I still see a strongly rising tide in this sector for more than another couple years.>> Ditto that. My concern at this moment is how much will the fears of and/or the reality of a recession affect the stock prices of these companies even while they prosper and grow earnings. Earnings drive a stock's price, or at least that's what we all once learned a long time ago. D

Recouperation of todays losses, can be helped with some well chosen options. If an investor believes that todays action was a terrible over reaction, then some corrective options are the order of the day. Without spending a great deal of money (less than $3,000) I intend to spend it as follows. Using just July option expirations Asyt 1 contract of the July 25's at 5 5/8 to 6....$600.00 LTXX 1 contract of the July 25's at 3 5/8 to 4....$400.00 EGLS 2 contracts of the July 20's at 1 3/4 to 2...$400.00 KLIC 1 contract of the July 50's at 5 1/2 by 6...$600.00 LRCX 1 contract of the July 30's at 3 3/4 by 4...$400.00 NVLS 1 contract of the July 50's at 4 by 4 1/2....$450.00 Total cost of the package about $3000.00 Of the above companies only LRCX and LTXX report earnings after options expire. Commission costs of $25.00 per contract are another cost factor. I do not know which which companies will rally the quickest. But this mix of options will generate profits with even a modest recovery. Other selections are welcome. Keep in mind that I've been wrong so often that I'm bound to get right just once.
