AMAT YoYo Demo —- Looks like the recent stock Split confused the Bears a bit. Before, they wanted AMAT to go below 35, 30, 25, 15 (post split translated into 17.5, 15, 12.5 and 7.5 respectively) before they even consider buying. I saw them buying in the low 20s ! recently. Of course the Die-Hard Bears wanted AMAT to trade at Book like at 5 or below. If only they can muster enough courage again to force the stock down to 22 --- then we can enjoy playing the AMAT YoYo for a month again ...
