:-) Just call me Quickdraw McGraw.....not necessarily a compliment at all times though....:-) more good news. 09:59 ET AMAT Applied Materials may close ops for week in February - BofA (13.70 -0.64) Banc of America says channel checks indicate that AMAT will close operations for a week in Feb due to weak business conditions; firm also believes there is a possibility that the co will close for a week in March as well, and continues to think the stock will retest its Sept lows. 09:51 ET Michigan sentiment lower than expected The Univ of Michigan consumer sentiment index came in at 83.7 in early January, down from 86.7 in December and below the 87.0 consensus. This slight reversal of the last few months' uptick is not a great concern and is consistent with indications that the labor market remains sluggish. A significant uptick in confidence is unlikely until job growth picks up.
