first, i would never recommend shorting a blue chip like amat unless your a professional investor. unfortunately, the second tier stocks in semi's that i have shorted have got hit and i covered but i made mistake not covering amat in the low 30's since i had a couple chances. i like giving negative side of amat because even though their is no argument about the quality of management in the company it it very cyclical and volitile stocks that is as much risks in the stock then i have ever seen. right now asia is getting destroyed and it does effect amat in the world econimies. also, hwp is down 7 points because they miss the street in a pre announcement their numbers by 16% while the simple fact is amat missed their estimates by over 30+% and the company said nothing positive going forward. the stock goes up because wall street are sheep and they don;t have the nerve to tell their clients that just bought the stock they were wrong . good night.

Paul V and Others, The Dow 30 is still busy widening its Landing step. Staircase Landings, as we all know, are used to anchor on one side a flight of stairs to the Upside as well as to the downside. The higher tier of stocks seems to be waiting for the likes of stocks like INTC to catch up... INTC, after constructing its Parabolic Ramp and seeing its Skateboard Kid overshoot the rim of the Ramp and crashed with a thud, seems to be having a different tact this time---to make its own brand of staircase steps... As for AMAT this is the 3rd try to go over 40; the stock usually makes it on its 4th try---so it would be interesting to watch after about 11 days of consolidation from today if its ready to have a piece of its Landing Step raised a bit, say to above 40... (In order for AMAT to begin its classic Fast Paced Toe-wide ascending steps, we must hear James Morgan say something like these:---"...we still have Down earnings up to the end of this year...from there we expect better things to come...)...
