Roly, the Short AMAT Bear is worried and getting scared. He is asking the Long AMAT Bull for sympathy. He knows things will only get better from these levels...Well, he has nobody to blame but himself. He knows that for the past 8 years, only in 2 ---1990 and 1996 did we have a downturn in AMAT; and in almost every year he knows that a mini-dip occurs from Aug to as far as Jan and that's all---he has to suffer again for a long long time; He knows that his gains are limited to 100% (in case the stock goes to Zero) and his losses are unlimited...Why does the Short AMAT Bear keep punishing himself (using the prospect of few months downturn to keep his faith and entertain himself and hopefully the Long AMAT Bull)?... I wish I am a Bear to know how it feels to be like...
