<<As you point out, the KLAC numbers are very high now, but keep in mind one thing - as time goes forward, the sales and earnings numbers will be constantly raised as the recovery gets further and further along. >>

True enough. But these stocks are considered trading vehicles to a large extent. Investors historically have looked to load up when times are bad and catch a huge percentage return as the cycle returns to a peak.

Will investors be content to accept very limited upside in the current cycle?

At what point do fundamental oriented investors decide that a return to great prosperity has already been fully priced into the group?
