<<<18:15 ET Semi Equip Book/Bill : The Semi Equipment and Materials Intl's semi equipment book/bill ratio rose to 0.73 in November from 0.72 in October, close to most market estimates. However, the actual level of bookings fell to $612.3 mln from $647.1 mln (shipments fell at a faster clip). This is a new low for the cycle and calls into question the assertion that the industry hit bottom in Q3.>>>
Namaste!

OT TXN: Yes, you're right, the downsloping trendline hasn't been broken yet. I'm making the bet that we are close enough to the bottom, in TXN, that I can add now, sell the next rally, and lower my cost basis. And, if I'm wrong, then I just hold and wait.
