Taby, >Mr. DD How come when I see a post by you I know it is 99.999999% negative news before I read it? Nothing personal, but believe me, your posts are sickening, even if they turn out to be true later. I just can't believe there is somebody out there who knows a lot people have invested their hard earned money in this stock, yet constantly goes out of his way to make negative comments about the stock for self interest even if the self interest may be his ego. Investors won't make their decisions based on your comments and most of them see and here what you write. Please think positive for a change, after all you are not sure about what you are saying, why not make positive comments sometimes. Do know the power of positive thinking? Again, I am sorry if you are offended< The strength of this thread is the continual feedback, pro and con, regarding the potential growth of the semiconductor equipment and semi stocks. The members of this site are very supportive and give much time to honestly appraise the future of technology and specifically, AMAT. I still have a bid in at $22 for AMAT, but fully realize that according to the progressive movement of the Dorsey Wright Charts and the increasingly number of mutual fund getting into AMAT, I will probably not get my buy at $22. However, my cost in AMAT is at $12.8125. I do not believe that the mutual funds would have increased their exposure in AMAT to #402 if they believe that AMAT was not going to go up during the next 6-12 months. I am fully expecting that the semi sector and AMAT will resume the gains that we have been accustomed. Just my $.02. Paul V.

Taby, Re: your preference for "positive thinking" IMHO the value of SI Threads is that they provide an opportunity for sharing information and informed opinion, NOT a venue for cheering for the team. We need to look at our investments/potential investments with cold eyes. I greatly appreciate Dave Dhillon's posts; I'm sure many others do also. Thank you Dave! Best Regards, diana

"I am sorry if you are offended"...Taby, not at all, I'm sorry if I offend or sicken you....but my posts simply reflect my opinion about this industry. It's up to you to figure out if they are right or wrong. I started to respond to your comments in your post...but I found myself defending my right to post my opinions...it really sounded corny....anyways...if you don't like posts that don't parallel your thinking, please skip my posts. P.S....if you can show me that "positive thinking" can improve the industry fundamentals and ensure AMAT makes it's numbers....I will give it a try. dave
