Thank you Gottfried for getting me to look at this because it will keep me from pulling the trigger too fast when it comes time to sell.

AMAT is a case in point:

And you other charts as well seem to show this common reaction:

What I see in general is that after the plateau in bookings and the semiconductors you have charted rose even higher when the booking rose further perhaps making investors believe that this time this cycle will be different and we will not see a fall off in demand.
