Lee,

I hope I am wrong, but despite recent discounts on semis, I still feel we should fall further. IMO, uncertainty especially in techs can often lead to huge (unwarranted) drops. This being said, I am of the opinion that the tech uncertainty will not clear up anytime soon. This is why I will try to re-enter come March or April, when the
paranoia and uncertainty subside. I may miss the bottom, but at least I get a better feel for which way the industry is leaning. Missed opportunity is better than buying volatile stock in uncertain times. I agree that analysts are often wrong. My brother is no different.

I am trying to follow a graduated pricing strategy of where to enter. I wan't to get in to AMAT at $25 (25% of available cash), $20 (25%), and hopefully $18 (%50). Running these numbers by my brother, he seemed to think it was a safe strategy. Incidentally, he is working on VLSI alot, and remains extremely positive if the time horizon is at least 14 months.
