Katherine, Re:my criticism of your Lehman post was out of line. It's forgotten. Re: Your intentions & qualifications I was not in any way saying comparing you to the CNBC crew, although going back over my post I could see how one could read it that way. You are greatly appreciated by myself and everyone else for spending time here on SI since you are obviously very knowledgeable about this industry; let me state this clearly. Re: . I have no intention of investing in semiconductor equipment stocks, no matter what the market does. First, such investments would be ethically problematic I am curious as to why you feel this way. Mark Haines(the only offhand exapmple I can think of) routinely states that he is a holder of AMAT stock when he questions J. Morgan. Mark Haines does not parallel what you do and so may not be a good example. Do you feel ownership of a certain stock will cause a de facto bias? Kind Regards, Brian

Katherine, You're too modest. I retrieved the qualifications from verticalnet.com They follow (except I deleted your phone and fax numbers - people will have to go to the link you provided for that info...). Katherine Derbyshire, formerly chief technical editor with Solid State Technology magazine, has joined the process group as managing editor of Semiconductor Online. Derbyshire earned her master's degree in engineering materials from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and her bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before joining Solid State Technology in 1994, she had published research on high temperature superconductors, III-V semiconductors, diamond thin films, and archaeological bronzes. She has contributed material to a number of other publications, including Wired magazine, and received an ASBPE award for technical journalism in 1997. At Solid State Technology, Derbyshire covered lithography, etch, thermal processes, planarization, and fab automation, while providing overall technical leadership for the magazine.
