I noticed the company bought a flat-panel display company. I wonder when those revenues will kick in. Last I heard there was a shortage of flat-panel displays.

James C. Morgan, Chairman & CEO of Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT - news), is highlighted by a Wall Streeter. ``Jim Morgan is a visionary who is very highly regarded by the industry. He's been around, leading Applied Materials, since its sales were $20 or $30 million. Now they're at $4 billion.
