So you are saying, the price is connected to how many are selling and when. Market Makers are pushing this stock. Then the question is why sell. I am long and holding, because, Unless you want to buy something, pay off something, or just moving in another area, if you do not sell, you haven't loss. If you do need something, want something or have to pay for something, take a load, it's a better return in three years. just my thoughts Stan

Robert, thanks for your thoughts. Please reconsider >it's going to take a giant sized Jimmy Stewart, perhaps tethered to that perky Maria person on the trading floor< for obvious reasons.<vbG> You said >That's only about 2 1/4 % of all the possible ownership pool getting their 'vote' in and affecting AMAT's TOTAL Market Cap< There is a TA method called Point and Figure [PnF] that looks at the day's highs and lows and a single - perhaps misguided - insanely high buy can produce a BUY signal for others. I've never felt comfortable with this, but Dorsey& Wright, purveyors of such data with their charts, defend it. Gottfried
