Re: "We believe that the risk of a material downward adjustment in the financial outlook for the semiconductor business is higher now than at any point since early 2002. Additionally, we think that we're closer to a peak in margins and earnings than we previously expected," the Merrill report said.

ML seems to be very consistent - they wait for the Monday of SEMIcon West to begin and then they hit the industry with a broadside downgrade. 7/12/04 and now 7/10/06. We should have expected it.:)
