Mark, I can't tell the expected range next week, but since you're in, you're doing better than most ALL investor who bought and held in the last 52 weeks. The question is: when will all these people with losses decide the pain is too much - and sell? Of course there are others (Lester and Paul V., for sure) who bought MUCH lower than you did. They'll hang in. Look at this volume-by-price chart: bigcharts.com You got a decent price. Gottfried

Mark, Monday the markets are closed. Unless there is some very bad international news there could be a short rally in the markets after the holiday. I don't think it will have much/any affect on AMAT or the semi-mfg's. I think you should expect to hold the shares for a prolonged period but the rewards will be very good within 2-3 years or until a major upturn occurs in the semi industry fundamentals. I think this is not a bad price, there may be more downside though so be prepared and don't get discouraged. You might want to consider dollar cost averaging if the price drops. With the prospect of continued market volatility you might expect AMAT to vary +/- $0.50 to $2 over the next several weeks or so. Don't expect any sudden upsurge in the short term, IMHO. Good Investing, BB
