Paul, I'm an old man. I know nothing about stock manipulations or how other markets affect us. All I know is that AMAT is a great company in an industry that is still in its infancy and is bound to grow over the years. I just hold and hold and see the net worth of the stock increase every year in good times and bad. About every two years or so the stock splits, decreasing my cost basis and at the end of the year my stock is worth more than it was last year. I have followed this stock for 30 years and this scenario goes on with just a few exceptions. This plan works for me so I continue to hold. I'm no rocket scientist, just a retired judge who thinks he is playing a safe game. Keep the faith/ Lester e.
