Applied Materials (AMAT 148 1/2 +4 11/16) rallied to a new high as Morgan Stanley Dean Witter raises FY00 and FY01 estimates from $3.25 and $4.20 to $3.55 and $4.90... Expects AMAT to meet or beat consensus in Q1 (Jan) with bookings in the $1.9 bln range or higher... Reiterates STRONG BUY

Gottfried, sure, I realize the TA camp believe in its usefulness to help predict, not absolutes, but degrees of probability of movement direction ( fair? ). And the FA camp, who for the most part ignore short and medium term movements, tend to snicker at the traders, because the more you trade, as opposed to buy and hold, the more towards the documented 90% loser category you migrate toward. You, Paul, BB, I would never put in that daytader, 90% daytrader category, you're posts are always well reasoned and open-minded. And you're right, buy and hold is just not for everyone. But thats still not going to keep us from alittle friendly tweaking every now and again- its boring just sitting on stock!!
