Brian, grist for your mill: look at the 5 year log chart and (mentally) draw channel lines connecting the lows, then the highs. You now can see the secular trend. Looks like AMAT wants to stay above 25 or so. You can also see that the stock will split again in Fall of 2000. <G> That means it has to go up substantially before then. chart3.bigcharts.com:80/report?r=chart&onbad=badsymbol&country=us&time=12&freq=2&compidx=aaaaa%3A0&ma=0&maval=9&uf=1024&lf=512&type=128&style=1&size=2&symb=amat&comp=&sid=614&sec=c&xyz=104367797&s=21169 GM secular means "without the short term wiggles"

BK, Brian said:IMO, barring any serious change in investor sentiment between now and the end of the year, there is no way we are falling to those levels. Those of you waiting, and waiting patiently, should begin your search elsewhere for stocks to retire on. I've got enough to retire on thanks to waiting patiently over the last 16 years. Didn't your mother ever tell you that " Patience is a virtue" AMAT has been very profitable for those of us who have maintained a calm presence in the stock thru the good times and the bad times. STILL WAITING PATIENTLY!! BB
