I'm reposting this rather than posting a link so that Brian
won't have to read the icky, nasty Justa thread (G).

The table below shows month-over-month percentage increase
in the preliminary bookings. (I did not use the revised
figures because that would be comparing apples to oranges.)

Month Bookings, Percentage Increase from
$Billion Previous Month

January 2.1778
February 2.2680 4.2%
March 2.4517 8.1%
April 2.7313 11.4%
May 2.7456 0.5%
June 2.7961 1.8%

1.8% monthly growth still works out to a pretty nice annual
growth rate, but it's a heck of a lot lower than it was. I
believe this is why the sector's stock prices have fallen
since April.
