John L.>Investors are jumpy and we could see a quick move in AMAT either way when the layoff is announced this week. The trend is our friend and it is decidedly down for the time being. I hope in 12 months we can look back and be happy with our choices, being invested in AMAT will pay off, the only? is how much and when.< Isn't investing interesting and strategically fun in additional to making money. Buying AMAT low at $26 5/8 in 1996 was the best decision I made giving me a base of $13 and a fraction. Now if I can pick up additional shares at a low price I will be extremely happy. The comradeship we have developed on this site, IMO, sure benefits all of us as we develop our investment strategies. Thanks for your feedback John. My opinions. Paul V.
