Brian/Eugene/Threaders. This month three events take place within three days that will have a significant effect on the price of AMAT.

The first is AMAT's reporting of earnings.(l8th)

The second is the monthly reporting of the BTB (20th)

The third is options expiration. (21st)

My guess is that AMAT will finish the month at (61 to 64)

Earnings and BTB are probably positives while options expiration is a negative. A good earnings report will be worth 5 points spread out over two days, and a positive BTB over 1.35 will be worth another two.
Options expiration are a negative because there is a tendency not to carry positions over the weekend. (every Monday its a whole new game)

While most posters (Ian, Eugene, Brian) have been very bullish long term, I read very little of the short term prospects for this stock.

The stair case workers have not left for better opportunities, they are just working on the basement and bomb shelter levels.

So go ahead, wipe some windex on the crystal ball, stare into the fish tank, down a few alcohol enhanced refreshments and make an estimate as to where AMAT will close on the 21st of this month.
