Can someone on the thread provide some advice on LEAP strategy for AMAT. I'm considering buying some today. TIA, Sup.

It's hard to tell from this YAHOO chart: quote.yahoo.com But in 1987 it looks as if it had a terrific drop, along with the general markets. I may start accumulating some AMAT just to get a point of reference, realizing that I might see it lower. A really bad recession could cut earnings, too. And tax selling could hurt the stock price. But at some point it would be an excellent investment, and can't be put in the same class with dot.coms, money-losing techs, or even something as easily imitable as Dell.
