Re: It would have been far more profitable to trade those peaks and valleys than to hold, even though AMAT beats them over that time period.

You would have to make trading stocks a near full-time job....and that is assuming that you could do it correctly.

Re: At the very least, you would have saved yourself a bunch of stress

....but would have added commissions, taxes, and the risk of being out of the market when it eventually rises. People who have traded AMAT over that course of time(30 years+) would most likely NOT outperform GE and WMT....outperformace over time while trading is difficult, if not near impossible, to do.

Re: Granted those were insane times

We are now at levels in terms of IC sales where we are comfortably ABOVE year 2000 levels.

IC sales 2000= $205B
IC sales 2004= $213B
IC sales 2005(est)= $224B
