GM,

I think the dollar amounts are starting to be more indicative of the sector in the near future. If AMAT makes the $600M or so qtr number for revenue, that is almost 1/3 of the whole industry. Combined, the entire sector is surviving on about $2B for the qtr?

Somebody got to be bleeding profusely here. This is almost beginning to look like the biotech startups. May be we should start watching the cash burn rate.
