You are right. I, for one, apologize to the thread, since all of mine have been off topic. [I felt a need to counter some of the bias out there -- I still have more to say but I will keep my trap shut on this thread.]

Good luck on the investing front.

Here is some AMAT TA which I hope makes up for some of it.

Doing a regression analysis on the weekly charts as far back as '94, you can see that AMAT is about 3 standard diviations below the regression line. This is the bottom range of the historical trend. So a bottom may have been seen. If history holds, in about 9 months AMAT should hit $75 and in a bit over a year it should peak at over 100.

History may not repeat itself though. AMAT has been tracking SOX pretty well. I am guessing that at some point in the future SOX will outperform AMAT. But that remains to be seen. Should SOX outperform for more than a month, historical measures of AMAT may not hold.

>>>Some people are writing 90-100% off-topic posts. <<<

Thats about right...a person should devote less than 10% of their time to making money.

I'd much rather say my friends on this thread are interesting people, rather than they are all wealthy. After all how much can you say about money. If you got dinner on the stove, a supply of beer in the fridge, and a dog that lets you in the house without biting you, what else could you ask for?
