Hi Brian, I just wrote a long response to you and the darn thing disappeared. I hate when that happens. These times are very depressing.The news is magnifying the fear.I've had two people give up and throw in the towel. That is exactly the wrong thing to do. If you have some time read the book called "How to make the stock market make money for you",by Ted Warren. The central theme is stocks go through cycles of ownership.They get accumulated over long periods of time.Insiders/sponsors accumulate large positions and the stock grows in strength. What we see now is a general market sell off.This is working to accelerate the strength building of the stocks we own. If it goes down hard -the wait will be shorter. We must enjoy the cheap prices as it gives us an opportunity to buy more at a low price.If it takes longer then we have more time to save money and buy more. I think the collection of great posts that appear on this Cohu thread are providing clear excellent guidance for wealth building into the future. There is no doubt in mind that the future will require more chips and ships that need pick and place testhandlers with cooling capabilities. Buddies Flame shows a historic low in advancing stocks.This is a wonderful time to buy into - as best we can. The future will reward us greatly. G's charts show us the recovery (although stealth due to the news media's slant) is alive and well. Its been almost 2 years since Cohu first bottomed @ 12.5/8 - Oct 18 2000.The second and third bottoms in 2001 and now in 2002 have added great technical strength to Cohu chart. Best of all it is a long term chart.The longer this quadruple testing consolidation goes the higher it will rise up in the next cycle. These are time where patience and belief in your investment strategy MUST be apploied in DAILY DOSES. It is not easy - it is hard.Never let someone tell you "You were lucky to make a killing in the market". It IS HARD TO DO. One must believe oneself in the face of adversity completely around. The daily control of emotions is a mental and physical burden. We on this thread are lucky - we have a quality company that has a great future.Its management is straight A # 1 honest and conservative.They are continuing their leadership role with R&D and great financial strength. The bigger fear is to have them tendered and then we'll have to find another company this strong and great in another niche. I'm most proud to be amongst the many great posts of yours - reflecting the current uptrend despite the news bias.That coupled with Buddies Flame and G's charts - I think we've got a collection of minds that will serve as a support group to take us to great financial wealth. It will take patience and determination. This cycle will rise to another era of great wealth creation. I think the apparent support @ 16.25 puts in a floor nicely above 12 5/8 -not a bad return for less than 2 years (33 %). We may have a bloodbath selloff - but right now Intc not going to 16 1/2 or Nvls not going to 28 is showing some support. The Dow is getting creamed - but it hekld up best.The safe plays are now getting what we've endured. We're getting close and its always darkest before dawn. Brian Kerecz must now know what Brian Kerecz Knows.Tech stocks rebound.The cycle is alive and well. Live frugally save your paycheck and do yourself a favor - buy some more stock. When Cohu bangs on 40 next year - we'll be able to do a mountain trip somewhere and laugh about this horrible time period. It is a time of greatest opportunity.We're the buyers when every one else is selling.That's always a winner if given time. For Now the Most important thing to do is also the hardest: HOLD WITH CONFIDENCE !!!! Remember the winner is the one with the most stock at the lowest price.But it will take another top to unleash the earnings. Another top will occur. These long bear markets everyone wants to talk about made many millionaires not by buying the index - but by buying great individual stocks. Great stocks wil prevail - Cohu is such a stock. Persistance and determination are omnipotent. The longer it requires the higher the next top. These are good times. We're onboard and taking a little train ride to Cohu Money Machine - we just have to go thru some dark tunnels. HOLD WITH CONFIDENCE !!!! Bob
