Wall Street is upset because Applied Materials booked $1.46 billion in new orders instead of $1.5 billion.

The only thing I can think of is this is a sympathy pull back due the negative response to yesterday's Applied Materials earnings release. Even though AMAT had outstanding numbers, the street seems to be focusing on a slowing of incoming orders. IMO, I see nothing but good things ahead for both companies. Earnings are strong, good book-to-bill ratio, positive momentum overseas, etc. I'm not much of a buy at $x dollar/share kink of person, but I can think of worse places to put my money. Regards, Eric
