"Conviction doesn't make money, strategy and stock picking do". Are we to conclude that you have no conviction in the opinions that you post here about AMAT's prospects? Seems to me that a successful investor would want to have a degree of conviction in his or her stock picking. A monkey can pick stocks. His strategy might be to throw darts. Conviction implies a reasoned approach. "If AMAT falls to my range, I will have paper losses but I will be able to accumulate at low prices. I will then become a long term holder until AMAT and others become overvalued and then I will sell some or all. If AMAT and others don't fall to my range, I will have the 55% stock to ride up." O.k. so are long AMAT now? If not, what are your anticipated entry points to make a 55% return on AMAT?
