We make it sound like it matters, if we're stuck now for the long haul then who cares, but it's kind of getting interesting in a sick way. For the past 3 days the market closed and bingo some company announces a problem. First ORCL, then OXHP, QNTM, KLIC, MSFT..Then the genious analysts kick in to play by downgrading. Wow, I can downgrade also after a company reports that they are having a problem. I guess I'm getting a little frustrated that AMAT hasn't announced anything negative yet, and the stock is reacting like they're having a catastrophe. This stocks moving in sympathy with others in their group is getting just a little out of hand already..I'm surfing around to see who's next..Goodl uck..

Hi everyone, I bought some NVLS and AMAT recently thinking they were getting near the bottom. Looks like their might be some more down side pressure for a while. Oh well, I have never been a good bottom or top picker but have made some modest profits in spite of myself. AMAT is a good company that may not be at the bottom now but it is certainly in a depressed state. These stocks will not stay at these levels forever. It may take 6 months, it may take 18 months, but when these stocks take off, everyone knows they will fly. I can wait a while to double or triple my money! (hmmm, why did I just let WDC go to toast and not sell? Oh well, another story....) Good luck AMAT holders!! ( actually you don't need luck just a little patience) Chris
