It seemed to me that the Briefing.com "analyst" was a chronologically challenged journalist. He seems to have been confused by the more recent release of "stale" data in the BtB as opposed to the earlier release of "fresher" data during AMAT's earnings conference call. Some of these "analysts" never fail to underwhelm me. Perhaps we should send him a picture of a calendar so that he can more easily see that Mid May is more recent than Feb to April. All the same, I completely agree that this downturn has been faster, steeper and uglier than anything I've witnessed. Best wishes, Ian.
