Kumar, You aren't alone with your All AMAT portfolio, I know of several very happy people who have the same. When you stated above that "maturity and integrity of AMAT management", it reminded me of a couple weeks back, my 9 year old daughter, asks me, "Mom, what makes a stock go down?" I told her lots of things can make a stock go down, but one sure killer is Dishonesty (e.g. Bre-X)....I guess we might could have some interesting discussions here on her question. (Oh, BTW, I have never owned any Bre-X, I don't even know anyone who has.) Also, I wouldn't worry too much about that "ticked off person", we have to remember we can't please everybody (there is a song about this, yes?)...and hopefully he is happier with the current arrangement. Regards, Teri |
