You've been bullish all week and I really don't understand why. I have seen no indication that the semi equipment customers are starting to buy. Just the opposite, in fact, and the macroeconomics are getting worse every day. Sure, this is a pretty good time for a long term investor to put some money in, but things will get worse before they get better. Remember, even if the B2B levels off at .8 or so, that still indicates a shrinking market.

Even if you're right, and July is the bottom, August B2B numbers won't be out until mid-September. Plenty of time to sit on the sidelines and watch the blood flow.

jtech:

You've been a bear for as long as I've been seeing your posts on SI. What makes you think that AMAT has bottomed? This Asian crisis is just going to get worse next week...maybe a lot worse, and Applied has their butt exposed to the carnage in a big way.

I hope your right. I'm 90% cash & tired of shorting. I do believe the likelihood of bad news for the sector & overseas has just started. Do notice several 10k blks. at the ask last 2 hours of trading but the overall daily trading doesn't convince me.
