So why in HELL did
the stock and others in this equipment sector fall precipitiously.


At the risk of stating the obvious, I will...

the stock and others in this sector rose precipitiously.

There is no other explanation than this. I suppose one could call this the zig-zag thoery of stocks. Those that rise too swiftly, fall also swiftly. The converse is true as well. Case in point, KR, Kroger Food stores. A real yawner. Slow to rise. very slow. But look at the chart. It just keeps going up. No downside.

Anyway, talking about AMAT, which rose from 15 to 54 the past 52 weeks, one can hardly complain about a drop back to $30, still a 100% gainer even after a correction of 40%.
