G,

Agree with most of your points.

Except that there's solid evidence to believe that the Semi Cap Eqpmt sector is really seeing a recovery.

I don't know that there's similar evidence for the DD's.
And with announcements like that from IBM yesterday, the price / bit will continue to plunge, the GB/drive will continue to soar, and short of some killer ap, the need for storage won't keep pace with supply.

I wouldn't rush to put money into the commodity DD makers.

JMHO,
Ian.

Gottfried, Tito and Threader, AMAT's hitting of $62+ today is a very good sign. It broke to the positive side the Bear Resistance Line. Tito, looks like your Construction workers are finally working.
