Semi Equip Book/Bill : North American-based manufacturers of
semiconductor equipment posted a book-to-bill ratio of 0.46 in May
2001, below a 0.54 mean of three estimates. This represented a
slight improvment from 0.44 in April (revised from 0.42). The CEO of
SEMI (which collects the data) noted that while the book/bill rose,
both orders and shipments fell again, and he says that
sustained year/year improvement is probably 3-4 quarters away.

The response to MANU's report today, just verifies that for me, in this market, a long term hold w/ a basket of techs is the only approach. I just don't have a trader's persona. These companies are gonna be great 5 years down the road (75% growth in sales since last year for MANU, no?), tho it will clearly be a bumpy road.
