Daryll40, I'm sure you know how to do the basic YoYo play: —- In a downward motion, release the YoYo for the Drop, then as the YoYo spins at the Bottom —- tug the string and up the YoYo goes back for the Catch. A snake or drunk moves SideWays but AMAT moves YoYo Ways. The Cycle of Drop/Catch … Drop/Catch … Drop/Catch ... goes on and on and on … In a Bullish Fast-Paced Mode the stock Drops more or less 10% say from the Day-High of today to a Day-Low 4 days later, then the stock goes back to more or less to the original Day-High or Catch. In a Slow-Mode, the stock Drops 11 to 20%. In a Landing Mode or when the stock repeatedly fails to make a New High for several months, the Drop is from 21 to 25 to even 30%. A Drop of 40% soon becomes a 50, or 60 or 70% Drop, whatever… and we are in a Bear Market that last for at least a year. As you may have noticed, the Paid-Analysts are the Chief YoYo Players —- they time their Bearish or Bullish Calls to Ride the Drops and the Catches. (In the Economy and Stock Market in general, Greenspan and the President are the Dropper and Catcher respectively). The Catch is the Riser and the Drop the Step of the Staircase the AMAT YoYo Kid Plays his Game. He goes Up and Down the staircase playing the YoYo during the Landing or Wide Step Mode. When the Kid needs a Higher play Area, the AMAT Staircase Construction Workers take over in building additional Risers and Steps above the Highest Landing they've built previously. You feel them when the stock hits New All Time Highs every now and then that last for several months ... until they Hit another Landing or Bear Market that last for a year or so. AMAT Investors/Traders both Bears and Bulls alike could use the YoYo Plays to time their Sells near the Catches and their Buys near the Drops. It's as simple as that.
