Welcome, Jeffry.

If you continue to follow this board, ask questions,
practice 'due diligence' and do some research, the
essence of this board will become more digestible.

Many of us have been discussing the Semi and Semi
Equipment sectors, here on Silicon Investor, since
the early days of the public internet. Almost 15 yrs.

Each of us has our favorite stocks in these sectors,
and try to provide a common depository of information
relevant to these stocks, so that we all can profit
from said info. It's the theory of "many eyeballs".
(some people don't appreciate that theory and expect
all posts here to be original research and thought)

Don and Gottfried began to archive data and charts
many years ago, and provide them to us for further
analysis and discussion. Their time and effort is
greatly appreciated by all.

Our backgrounds are varied, from science and technology,
to business and finance. A few have worked in the industry.
We manage to stumble thru the forest and occasionally
find some light.

Stick around. Perhaps you can shed some light during
some of our discussions.

Again, welcome.

Woody

Jeffry, I don't talk a lot any more except for posting charts. The charts are based on data issued monthly by SIA [worldwide chip sales] and SEMI [North American chip equipment sales]. Sometimes a chart is posted superimposing stock price, like the one below [needs updating]

But we're still at the mercy of those who move stock prices. One can be very well informed on the technology and still not make money in the stocks.
