GM,

Hopefully, AMAT's 6 mo. backlog can provide a buffer and maybe prevent AMAT from falling short of eps in Q1. At this point I think the Street is expecting AMAT to preannounce. If they do though, they'll still take it one the chin even with the drop they've already suffered. I'm still hopeful they won't preannounce. Why, I haven't a clue....

Regards,

Brian

Hasn't AMAT had earnings warning yet? Thanks.

And yet he was very cautious at the top to Carl's credit... and many people were poking fun.
