Jacob and Others, To Jacob: From 3.875 to 90 --- that's 2222 % change! Or 900K dollars for a less than 40K dollar investment in just over a year. That LEAP exceeds my expected 4 dollar to 80 dollar performance for an AMAT LEAP (actually, our Benchmark LEAP --- the Jan '00 30 now renamed ANQAF and about to expire next week hit 100 yesterday when the stock was just a shade below 130). Should be interesting how much more that ZNLAT (Jan 2001 40 Call) you sold is going to go with still a year left. To Others: I can only imagine how rich you have become by investing in AMAT Leaps last year and patiently waiting for the stock to reach above 100. Patience while believing fully on what you are doing has its rewards. My Spy has been busy buying AMAT LEAPs (whenever the stock retreats 10 to 20% from the All Time High) for his retirement from spying on the AMAT Staircase Construction Workers. That's why I can't get any input from him yet about how far he thinks the workers are going to climb this year. So, I can't give you my figures yet. Anyway, judging from his enthusiasm in acquiring AMAT LEAPs, I can say --- he is extra Bullish! As you know, my Spy's input holds a lot of weight in my Predictions about AMAT. During the previous 2 years, I missed. In 1997 the actual 108 3/16 high was 14% off my 126 prediction; in 1998 the 46 11/16 high was off 22% from my 60 prediction... but in 1999 I was lucky, thanks a lot to my Spy: --- my 120 to 130 prediction for the High for the year was Right On Target. It helped also for me to have widen the Bull's Eye (120 to 130 instead of saying 125) minimizing the chances of missing the wider Bull's Eye. Happy AMAT LEAP Investing!
