We had similar selling end of Oct. I think it is just mutuals fuds locking in some profit. They'll be buying AMAT, DELL, IBM bigtime after the new year.

Who needs a broker anymore? I am having so much fun trading on the net it even makes losses more tolerable. Besides I can change my mind on a buy real fast, do something about it, and only spend a fraction of what I used to with a broker. The downgrades at this point after a 50 per cent drop are just stupid, but they alert the gullible, and get the brokers busy writing sell tickets which are then bought up by you know who. The Pros win again, hell , they dont need commissions, just need brokers to bring them people with investment cash. Thats why the latest thing is asset management, they love to get their hands on other peoples money. Then turn on the propaganda machine.....Yankeee Gil

Yes, that seems to be the consensus here on most posts. I don't get it. What has changed today fundamentally? Korean won plunge? That's b/s. People have known that the won was in big trouble last month, and AMAT has less than 6% sales in ALL of Korea. I thought that would be marketed into AMAT's price last month already. Guess not. Anyways, I'll buy at $25, if it heads there. If it weren't for downgrades, there'll never be any chances to buy stock b/c it'll just continue floating higher.
