justa: weren't you spouting the same old stuff about too many bears at 35, 37 and recently at 32 and now at 28 - keep this up and at some point you'll eventually be right ...

Justa, I just looked at our 3 month old AMAT price predictions. The 26 threaders who estimated the '98 low (to occur after March) guessed on average $27, with $20 being the minimum. So, for anyone who believes in the Delphic method, we're almost there. Or are these estimates outdated? geocities.com GM

Justa: your confusing us with the INTC thread; Noone is chasing anyone off. I encourage Brian to continue posting, and have never said otherwise. I encourage anyone who is short-term bullish to continue posting, continue criticising my posts, and state their case fully. Please also post the facts and logic to support that point of view. If I'm wrong, I want to know it. And, eventually, Brian will be right, and I will join the short-term bulls. When I go very long, it will be because I think Morgan leads an excellent and proven management team. And I have never said otherwise.

Justa, Personal insults are never welcome, but in my opinion that sort of behavior seems to be benign on this thread. At least it's at a level that can be expected when people share different opinions and a lot of money is at stake. Anyway, most of the regulars that I know on this thread are neither bears nor bulls - they just try to share useful information regardless of AMAT's stock price. Bulls on the way up, bears on the way down,....whatever. How about we start calling the bears, "pears"? A tasty fruit, but never gets the respect of the likes of apples and oranges. Leave them in the bowl for just the right length of time and they're a delicious treat; leave em in for too long (after the turn) and they're quite nasty. Andrew
