Dave, Man you are living on the edge!8^) I expect you will be drawn and quartered by the thread members due to this last "opinion". They are in an ugly mood and need to sacrifice someone, it looks like you just "volunteered". I think I'll distance myself a bit so I don't get covered in blood.<VBG>8^) BB

You can't be serious can you.......(may be tough to see 40's by feb.) Unless Feb. comes next week, I'll just believe you're trying to stir the pot a little. Plus I think you give the investor public too much credit. Most investors outside this thread of course, aren't thinking along the same lines as you. To many, AMAT is simply a momentum stock, something to buy and sell along with the masses all at the same time. How else can you explain its HUGE rises and falls?

Dave, <<Buck this last run up to 108 in AMAT was a false start.>> It's amazing how people can make these comments after the fact. Let me ask you, what has changed from AMATs perspective since the stock was 108 last October? Have you heard the company announced earning shortfall or slowdown? They are proceeding with their expansion, hiring more people, etc. So please, don't pretend that those who took the defensive position and benefited from the stocks downturn thinks that you know everything about the stock and the market. IMO, it was pure luck. This stock could be 60 now (120 presplit) had the events not unfolded against the market. Roly
