> Some serious contraction in volume in KLAC today on the pullback.

i don't usually follow klac, but some of the others in the sector. a couple observations here. first, while its a decline based on closing prices, the stock has been trading relatively flat for most of the last four days.

second, just eyeballing volumes overall, there seems to be plenty of variance, but i *think* the trend shows its more likely that low volume precedes a further decline, except for the extended period right before the ramp at the end of last month.
