Big Bucks, For those of us who do not mind taking the chance of buying at the low others of us may be just satisfied to make 200% by buying at $30. While others may be just satisfied with a 50% gain over 12 months. Guess is determined by how greedy we are.<G> However, I do believe that we owe it to those on this thread that they can make some great money in purchasing AMAT at reasonable prices depending on their annual percentage gain expectations and price targets. For me, since I am fully invested, I like you can assume the patience route and buy from Jacobs targets and the low 20's. But, I will be ready to jump on board if the train begains to leave the station. Thanks for your taking the bait. <g> Just my opinions. Paul V. >Ok, I'll take the bait! If an investor is able to buy AMAT (let's say they are fortunate enough to buy at $20 ) then they stand to make 50% gain at $30 100% gain at $40 150% gain at $50 200% gain at $60 250% gain at $70 300% gain at $80 versus buying at $30 which yields: 50% gain at $45 100% gain at $60 200% gain at $90 etc. I'll wait, patience could be very rewarding by delaying a while longer, right now I consider the downside risk greater than the upside potential until things look like they are really improving. You already know my criteria, Very similar to Jacobs!<
