Seems like a goof, doesn't it? To think I wasted 6 years in Thermo one semester learning a bunch of stuff that no longer applies. Gee, whenever I remember those damn sliderules I sense a kinship with postmen. It is good to know that when I smack the golf ball with those graphite-shafted clubs I am not encountering resistance. Sorry that I cannot take time to think up something to blast CYMI about but I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Have a pleasant weekend.

AV--After reading the "Pink" message and reflecting on it, I became concerned about my own messages posted on this thread. I would like to clear up a few things by way of a disclaimer: 1. I use margin and have had problems occasionally by doing so. 2. I do not recommend anyone use margin or consider using margin. 3. Margin is a very risky proposition. 4. I do not want anyone to ever bet the farm on any one or two stocks I ever talk about or anyone else talks about. 5. Most of the stocks we talk about are considered highly speculative and extremely volatile. None of these can be considered conservative investments when you compare them to the utility stocks that pay dividends. Even some of those may not be as safe as previously thought. 6. No one should invest in any stock we talk about until you feel comfortable with the stock, understand the stock, and/or have done a good deal of your own Due Diligence. 7. Never follow me or others into a stock because we are buying and we seem to know what we are doing. Please do not be a blind follower but rather an informed investor. 8. Please do not invest any money that you cannot afford to have sit for 12-24 months just in case things go the wrong way. 9. Have a definitive entry, exit, and stop loss prices firmly set for everything you invest in and re-evaluate these points on a continuous basis. 10. If anyone of us was that GOOD and/or infallible, we wouldn't be on SI but rather selling our success books on some late night Infomercial or telecommuting from some exotic island. Wait a minute!! Tech Master - where do you live again??<GG>. FLASH: AMAT after hours trading halted pending news. Also some of the street gurus are downplaying the tech sector and are starting to look at them as decent values. They are all in lust with the Financial stocks, Energy stocks, and the basic DOW stocks or stocks that feed off the US economy and are insulated from the Asian disaster.
