Usually the second quarter is typically a weak period [for the semiconductor sector], and I would expect to see a lot of the stock prices kind of trading sideways in the second quarter. Maybe we'll see a few of the bigger, maybe stronger cap companies moving up. But in general, the second quarter is typically weak.

(Intel) may focus investor attention on the likelihood of a pickup in Q3 (the third quarter).

I think among this group of chip companies there's a period of merger and acquisition activity coming up.

We are ending what we think is the worst part of the cycle. The second half of the third quarter and fourth quarter will be better.
