Eugene, I've learned that all people sometimes and some people all the time misread what others post. And so you get attacked for something you didn't say, or get praised for something else you didn't know you said. <G> But it's OK. This thread stuff is a great learning experience for me in more ways than one. The analyst was probably just lazy and lumped several stocks together in one statement. We can't ignore the analysts either.<g> While we're on the subject of accuracy: I have recently found obviously wrong data in two services I subscribe to. I wonder how much erroneous data I've accepted WITHOUT noticing. BTW, I just posted a chart with AMAT price gains expressed as percentages for the years 1993 to present. I made the chart from raw price data. 1994 and 1996 were not so hot. (so now we can have a rule that AMAT underperforms in EVEN-numbered years. - Just kidding). The home page is at... geocities.com I'm obviously still a web page novice. :) GM
