<<Well, if you do, wait a while for the dust to settle. JMO>> Very good opinion, thank you. I'm doing just that. This market seems more to do with psychology than real numbers. A few years ago I had a stock that looked good but kept going down. The sky is falling idea. I had bought 300 shares @ $23 and it dropped to $4 for 4 years. Everytime I had an extra $4,000 I bought another 1,000 shares. Grain was good then and I bought a bunch. One day it started up. Took it two weeks to hit $48. I figure it's like elephant hunting, you watch the elephants run down a trail, sit down and wait, and if you wait long enough they come running back.

Cobalt, I was just kidding about the exercise. I know it's good for both the body and mind. And I've learned more about the psych drugs as my wife has been getting some treatment lately. Wellbutrin was one of the early trial drugs. But she's moved on to other which seem more appropriate for her. Ish, Sorry about AMAT. Those semis are absolutely loved, then absolutely hated as you know. You gotta buy 'em when they're hated and not forget to sell 'em when they're loved. Unless you're willing to put 'em away and forget about 'em. I worked for AMAT from 80 to 92 and if I'd just kept the little bit of stock I accumulated and let it split again and again instead of selling it every time I made a couple hundred percent...well, I don't want to even think about it...pass the prozac. Now, I'm looking at AMAT again with a little gleam in my eye. Soon, soon. Loofah
