stockdoctor, >>I think the book/bill for semi in December was .97...... Another record.<<

I haven't seen the December btb yet. And 0.97 is no record.
Please let me know what your source is.
Or did you mean the semiconductor btb, not semi equipment?

SD,

I am not saying they can't earn .55 for the qtr, but they they won't. They will IMO choose the safer route of spreading their backlog accross several qtrs instead of using it all at once to ameliorate the asses on WS. .50-.52, nothing more. Not that they can't; rather they will choose not to, and rightfully so.

Regards,

Brian

BTW, .51 would be an all-time record in quarterly earnings.
