re: DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO:

I think the problem is that there are investors out there who really wanted to buy AMAT today, and fully intended on buying, but somehow their order to buy the stock didn't make it to the Nasdaq exchange. Maybe some of them started to place a order, and thought they had, but didn't press all the right buttons in the right order, to correctly place an order on Etrade. It's very complicated, and I'm sure there are lots of people whose orders didn't get counted. If they had, AMAT would have closed above 40 today. It's not fair (at least, it feels very unfair to me, and I trust my internal sense of justice). I'm going to talk to my lawyer about this. Unfortunately, he's not a former Secretary of State, and he never defended O.J., so I don't have a chance of success in my suit on behalf of all AMAT investors. Life just isn't fair.
