RE: "What are your thoughts on the current risks to AMAT?"

The SE Asia and DRAM price situations have reduced the expected EPS for 98 and the multiple applied by the market. AMAT had a much better than expected 97 and a good growth rate is still projected for 98.

The risks are that everyone is overestimating 98 business. If you are a long term investor, you might consider 1/2 applied at 33, 30, 27, while holding 1/2 for an average price level of 20 (25, 20, 15).

I am holding my AMAT with an average cost of 16. I will consider buying more at <25 if this corresponds to SVGI and UTEK < 18, EGLS < 16, etc.
