I have this very simple question for EK, BK, MT, PV... do u really think this is the opportunity that was AMAT at 22 (11) in '96, or do u think there is just a chance that market euphoria is hiding a little ugliness...

akidron, >buxx have you ever felt like you weren't welcome, like perhaps dogma is all anybody wants to hear... like James Morgan is god... AMAT is invincable given anything... like history is redundent and the future as assured no-matter what we do.... WELCOME TO THE SI-DOME... AND ILLUSION....< I probably would be considered at a bull.:) I try to base my opinions on what the data and statistics from the IBD, DW, NAIC tell me. Using the statistics, IMO, keeps me in line and helps in keeping the emotion out of it. I agree with you that the hype, pro or con on this site can get us emotionally keyed, but the "between the lines" posting by Teri, Big Bucks, Tito, Gottfried and others provide necessary research and data. Ultimately, each of us have to make the final decision. Earlier, this year I was hoping to get AMAT at 22, then at 24 but it did not come my way. Big Bucks called the low at $26+. I am now hopeful to buy some more AMAT if I can catch it at $33. If not, I am looling at Zolteck (Zolt) a carbon fiber company with good potential. Just my $.02. Paul V.
