Wouldn't one expect a company such as this in an industry which is the cornerstone as life as we know it to garner a multiple at least similar to KO? Not before the industry displays the same cyclic action as the beverage industry. I haven't done it, and perhaps I should, but I suspect that AMAT's 5 Yr rolling average for Profits may well be larger than KO's. And if a $ invested in AMAT is going to return more than a $ invested in KO, then the answer approaches YES! Ian.
