William, A small loan that can be paid back over 5 years at about an 8-9% interest rate doesn't seem to risky to me concerning AMAT. This stock has the potential to double from the purchase price within 2 years (likely sooner)and to double again (total 4x the origional investment) within the 5 years. Where else can you get an investment with that kind of potential return?? Is it a good gamble? That is like buying on margin and it is tax deductible too and you can always pay off the loan early with the procedes or from other investments as they are available. Doesn't sound that risky to me but each investor needs to decide what his risk tollerance is. Regards, BB
