Ramsey,

RE: Ian, don't take Bagley too seriously.

I'll choose to take Mr Bagley a lot more seriously than I'll take Ramsey Su. :-)

Ian.

Ramsey - Ian, don't take Bagley too seriously.

Although I no longer own LRCX (I moved to CYMI and ETEC), I will say that having listened to many of his conference calls last year he is easily the most accurate of the CEO's of the big semi equ companies. He was predicting scary things long before anyone else (Morgan et al.). If he says things are improving I'd tend to trust him more than most other sources. Just FYI

Re: "If they have real significant orders, they would have blasted press releases all over by now."

Laugh. You're thinking of Internet start-ups, not the Semi-Equips...:P

I agree with you, actually. But even the best case, 2:1, is still pretty huge.
