Nope. I was not being flip.

I could not agree more.

It is refreshing to hear that you are not of the:

"I'll back up the truck below $30 club...who re-evaluate below $30...and lower the truck depot level to $27..who re-evaluate below $27...and lower the truck depot level to $22...who re-evaluate below $22...and lower the truck depot level to $20...who re-evaluate below $20...and lower the truck depot level to $15...."

Of course AMAT can go lower from here. It can go down about $24. The beauty of investing is that stock prices do not move in a vacuum. I can add to my position at $20, $15, or $10.

People with time windows that fall a tad short of any longer-term investment horizon are not afforded such a luxury.

There is nothing wrong with their type of investing/trading. I, for one, am much more comfortable with my imprecise and patient method. At least I know that I will ultimately own a fine company and, with a little luck, will be able to do so at even lower prices. There is no such guarantee if you are waiting for "the perfect time." IMHO
