What happened for the last two years may not be repeated. There are now signs of a few companies doing really well and some smaller semis which have great leverage into a recovery.
Last year and earlier this year business was universally deteriorating but this is cetainly changing for a few companies and not just marginally but quite big buisness improvements.
The market might well take another dive but it is going to be a bit different this time if at the same time companies are coming out with greatly improved earnings and revenues.
