Cary, You are absolutely right. However, if one believes as I do, that AMAT will see a post-split price of $150+ in the coming years, why should one risk losing that ride by selling? I have heard many people on this thread over the past year say that AMAT was overvalued at $40, then $50 then $60..... all the way to 108 3/8! My point is, why not take the ride(even though it may be painful) because bumps in the road like we are now experiencing are nearly impossible to foretell. I have just recently started to try to time the zig-zags of the market, rather unsuccessfully). I have investments in AMAT and others which I will not touch for any reason. If the market takes AMAT to $108, who's to say it won't continue its upward ascent? I also have a portion of my account devoted to ST trading, specifically margining, which I use to (try to) time the market. I have a large position of AMAT margined @ 46 3/8. Just goes to show what my opinions are worth. I sometimes consider myself a contrary indicator<G> Regards, Brian
