Rewe have yet to see an indication of an upturn and early buyers are way ahead of themselves.

Laker,

That is what is supposed to make a market; the fact that $$ must be put on the line before the facts are a surety. You can't have your cake......

<<Oracle reported a 28% rise in income. Quite different from an industry looking at a 12% decline IN
SALES this calendar year. And what happens if Asia slides deeper and takes the US and Europe along. I
am not suggesting disaster - - I am merely saying this trough could get deeper and wider. If this is a cyclical
industry - - and there is a lot of support for that view - - then we have yet>>

I never said that you weren't correct about the semi stocks. I just meant to state that this market has gone up regardless of the fundamentals, so why should semis be any different. As far as Oracle is concerned, I recall it driving up well before earnings and very soon after the earnings warning. Can anyone confirm this?

Good luck,
Perry
