Sam,

I responed to the post just prior to yours. Your timing is amazing.
I think your "Third Friday Sale" doesn't explain LRCX (67-40), EGLS (36-23), KLAC (77-58), and now AMAT(54-40). You are correct that there are "fears" about 98 business. Almost all the data recently either confirmed the fears or had no material effect on them.

As I said a while back, I have "bearish" fears, and the recent action has not helped. I looked at "cat and dogs" (the euphemistic "small caps") bid up because they halved their losses (no profits in years) and I realized that it was the consequence of everything of value being incredibly overvalued. I also said I will hold the semi-equips and CSCO. I have held and I have given back some profits.

This is a time to establish target prices and to begin to buy cautiously. Target prices are not 5 dollars less than yesterday. Target prices occur when you will be happier if the stock goes lower so you can buy more. (This is for all semi-equips - I would still want to listen to the AMAT CC before any major purchases!)
