BB,

Curious why you prefer INTC over AMAT here. AMAT would appear to have a much better competitive advantage than INTC, but that is just IMO. And with INTC (among others) being forced to raise its capex, it now looks to be AMAT's day in the sun.

And FWIW, I hold both, but AMAT holdings are far greater than my INTC.

Brian

BB, now the question is: sell AMAT before earnings? Historically that was the thing to do - although I've never done it. Or buy puts?
