Good morning, Burjis

There are different hedge strategies to protect/maintain your position in AMAT. The action you take depends whether you hold shares, short-term options or leaps and your entry points.

For instance, sometime ago I posted that AMAT would hover about its 200-day mav at 35ish until earnings. For future reference and as an example, on the dead cat bounce to 40, I'd sell in the money calls or unload the shares/leaps if my cost basis was in the low or mid 30's. However, if my cost basis was in the mid 20's, I'd let my shares/leaps ride.

Listen to AMAT's forward guidance for the sector. Unlike the management of some other companies, one can count on its integrity and accuracy of the guidance. If a push out is indicated due to transition lags, AMAT may revisit 27ish and 21ish is possible in a market selloff. In 12-15 months, this will just look like a scary blip to long-term investors.
