I was thinking it was time to take profits in AMAT. I have already taken some myself in one stock that hit 8x for me (LRCX - now 9x) and now AMAT is near the 8x level (bought 7/96) so I am getting ready to take more there.

I would not think bailing out is the answer as these companies get overbought then oversold on a regular basis(lather, rinse & repeat) but they make higher highs and lower lows on the large scale despite the cycles. Unless people are going to stop using chips, I doubt these will under perform long term. I would NOT buy here, but taking profits to hold and wait for off cycles is always wise. Perhaps take 10% off the table every time they go up 10%? You can generate a ton of cash this way to invest in off years and still participate well if the valuations continue to skyrocket.

Maybe pull out your original investment if you have a multi 100% gain and then do the 10% off for every 10% up as we go forward? This is what I am considering. Comments?

You have to consider the valuations that internet companies are getting and these are still cheap. 8)
