Daryll, While my current plays are looking pretty weak right now, I haven't thrown in the towel quite yet! If Jacob gets his $40 sell price, you can be certain I'll be squirmin' big time and will have to make a very difficult call: to bail and give back all my October AMAT/LRCX accumulated short-term short gains, or ride it out and risk even more. In any case, thanks for the "high marks" comment and the best of luck to you, however you might play it. AdvocateDevil

re: I give you and Cary high marks for honesty I second that. Posting trades in real-time, with reasoning, opens you up to ridicule, if it doesn't go your way. But it's the best test of a poster's methods. I'm very skeptical when people post, "Oh, I bought that at much lower prices a while ago." Everyone, consciously or not, has a tendency to edit the past, to forget mistakes. It's not really dishonesty, it's just human nature. But mistakes are how we learn and improve.
