True. I only meant that technically NVLS and KLAC have had more momentum and better stability behind them over the past quarter. And have somewhat better valuations. But I didn't really mean to direct the focus on them, rather I'd like to know what is unique to AMAT. So what are you doing on the net so late? Or are you on the west coast?

Tokyo stocks extend gains Semiconductor testing device maker Advantest Corp jumped 7.84 percent to 22,010 yen and electronics trading firm Tokyo Electron Ltd gained 2.96 percent to 14,620 yen. Earlier this month, Tokyo Electron raised its net group profit forecast for the year to March while strong industry data had fueled expectations for the sector, traders said. The Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan said last week that orders for Japanese-made semiconductor manufacturing equipment totaled some 229 billion yen in June, up 140 percent from a year earlier and rising for an eighth consecutive month. biz.yahoo.com
