<Is there something different now than in December?> < I have never shorted a stock before but I must admit that I am getting tempted> AMAT will net $4 next year. They will grow at a compounded annual rate of 30+%. If you award AMAT a PE of 25 for the 30+% growth rate, how many years before AMAT breaks $200? (ans: <4yrs) I've never shorted a stock before either. If I did, I would try to find one that didn't have a $1.5 billion backlog, and whose fundamentals were declining. Good luck.
