Skeets:<<people talk about the btb like it is the be all and the end all and everything should be judged by it. nobody cares orders are 51% down while the stock is 125% up. for now. they might tomorrow.

Skeets, yes, orders were {not are} down 51% in November from a year in November. The point is that percentage is going down from prior months like September and October. The trend appears to be increasing orders which will further erode that percentage. That is my point. You are looking at the past and not looking at trends that appear to show improvement in business conditions.
A bigger question is why do you care so much if AMAT is up 125%. You have no position in the stock so why don't you just let us "gullibulls" enjoy this "bubble" and then you can do your puts and collect all the money. Nothing you can say here will impress anyone since it comes from someone without anything at stake other than your ego.
