Teri, many investors find it necessary, or comforting, to have their decisions affirmed by others, thus the term herd mentality. In reality, why would anyone give a damn as to what you are actually buying selling and holding, and vice versa. Now back to AMAT, it is displaying some very interesting strength today. Does anyone know what type of share buy back program AMAT has? I am just wondering who is buying. MSFT, as an example, is holding up there also. I am assuming that MSFT is at least partially responsible for the buy volume. Ramsey

OT Your post assigns outrageous viewpoints to me which have no basis in fact and exist only in your mind. But I hope you feel better now that you have gotten it off your chest and I wish you well. And if there is any venting you wish to do in the future, please go right ahead and let me have it irrespective of my actual views. I am here for you. At this point, I am willing to do or say anything if it helps you get your price and so in the future I will try not to post any facts to this thread like I have done over and over in the past that may undermine your viewpoint of the world. I do apologize if you think my posts moved NVLS or KLAC up sharply so far today. I know how I can move markets. But you know I just want to make you happy and will keep that goal in mind in the future when I try to post things that serve only reinforce your thinking regardless of the implications of the sentiment I see and regardless of market conditions. I hope you can forgive me. I feel just terrible.
