Bob, AMAT is up about 5% right now. I wonder if all the AMAT recommendations this time (e.g. Abby Cohen, various brokers, mutual fund managers on CNBC, etc.) are going to cause the stock to not bottom like in previous cycles. But then again, maybe we just have to wait a few months. I mostly looking to buy AMAT when its price is depressed relative to other tech stocks I own. The best opportunity for that was last year, but did not buy a lot then in order to defer capital gains taxes. Hope another good opportunity arises soon. I will also buy if the price gets low enough, regardless of other techs. I will try to remember to post immediately after I pull the trigger. That is a great idea, lets share our timing thoughts. I bought a little when it hit 36 back in December. I did not notice it till later that day as a limit order got hit. Wish I backed up the truck instead right now, but maybe we go lower soon, maybe a lot lower even. This tech crash sure is interesting. If we could only figure out how long this downturn/recession will last. Lots of confusion it seems recently, which should mean opportunity, as you pointed out. John
