Joe, Heck, if they don't have any workers, that eliminates a large cost factor that messes up their net income every quarter. -g-

Nope, still own puts on AMAT. Waiting for the loss this quarter and next to shock the true believers. However, unlike IBM, Intel and MU, these guys have been stingy about holding on to their cash. And, unlike IBM, Intel, and MU, Amat is a good co. and one I would own again about 2/3 lower in price.

No wonder AMAT's in trouble (accepting voluntary redundancies, among other measures). I've always felt an inadvertant redundancy was preferrable to one that was voluntary, much less one that was involuntary.<G>
