Re: "If this is the case, why aren't the semi stocks rallying even though every year we hit new all-time highs for semiconductor revenue?"

Because of the current uncertainty what comes next. Do we see a weaker second half 2006? Are we hitting a new high in 2007 or not? Are we instead getting hit by a full-blown recession in 2007 (high-probability rating by some)? Oil prices, interest rates, Iran nuclear policy, economic crisis in China?
