You are already in the "green" with your purchase. The following gives a brief synopsis of the present situation. cbs.marketwatch.com NEW YORK, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Technology stocks swung higher in extended-hours trading Tuesday as investors eyed earnings news from companies like Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT) . Applied Materials, the world's largest maker of chip-making equipment, initially sagged after it reported a small net loss and said industry conditions remain challenging in the short-term, but soon reversed course. It also said it expects new orders to be up 10 to 15 percent in the second quarter from the first quarter, with revenues at $1 billion or slightly higher. It fell to $43.98 shortly after the announcement and then erased its loss to trade at $45.12 on the Instinet electronic brokerage system from Tuesday's close of $44.71. Let's hope the market has a reasonable day tomorrow - if so, should see some more gains in the semi-equips, including AMAT. Don
