Ian, you are right about KLIC and the back end, of course. And I am not short any equipment stocks. But I don't think a real recovery is possible without order increases at the back end. There is only so much that technology pilot projects can carry the front ends.

The most difficult thing is not figuring out the industry, but deciphering what is and is not priced into the stock. Personally I have lost more money being "right" than being "wrong".
