As of this comment -
Shares lost 5.43% in after-hours trade following the report on weak outlooks for the "March-ending quarter" risk becoming a drumbeat for the chip sector at large given this week’s earnings reports.

Tomorrow I will be heavily increasing my share count in KLAC and FSELX. I am well positioned to afford the markets overreaction to the  short term headwinds facing the semi industry for much longer term robust gain. I am of the opinion the supply chain issues will unwind in 2022 / 2023 and I want to be overweight Semi's when (not if) they rebound.

The best time to buy Quality is when Quality companies
go on sale due to short term economic headwinds.
