Joe,

I don't think AMAT or anymore warning within the sector is going to break the back of the semi equipment makers. It has to be the market.

Take a look at what the NASD, especially the big caps, this year. In fact, AMAT is one of the worst performers. Liquidity is keeping the market up now but liquidity is a double edged sword.

We have thoroughly discussed Asia. S&P PE is not supported by growth rate. Vaporinternet stocks are creating a lot of paper wealth. Y2K problem just around the corner. These are all individual events which can bring a correction by itself. If a few of these things happen at the same time, black Monday cannot be ruled out. That is when AMAT will truly test its support, back to the teens.

Having said that, it is more important to look for bullish signal because this group is going to recover like a rocket. Again, it will not be from within the group because by the time you see something like "...... AMAT receives $500M order from ......", it will be too late. So we need to look for signs of economic recovery in the countries most likely to buy semi eq.

Just my 2 cents.
