I can't figure that flapp'en equip sector....levetation, bipolar anal-sniffter forces...??? I have to say AMAT looks phat: Valuation Ratios Price/Book (mrq) 5.58 Price/Earnings (ttm) 143.89 Price/Sales (ttm) 7.28* Income Statements Sales (ttm) $5.98B EBITDA (ttm*) $655.8M Income available to common (ttm) $305.5M They've got no growth...only hope that the sector turns and priced already for a GREAT turn in orders. I don't see it...just a bump up in orders(from low comparison levels) then flat to down again. I honestly can't figure some of those stocks and you know what Buffet says when you don't understand....SELL!! Back at 12-15$ = 2-3x book..that makes sense I guess? Should be an interesting Summer for bloated techs, including the anal-levetated equips.
