toney, reminds me of an ancient book that records people would rather be told lies than the truth. ;-)

Tony,

Re:AMAT's top guy, OTOH, has said he 'just doesn't know where the bottom is.' Well, how about that for a confidence booster.


Are you criticizing him for being upfront? He could paint a rose-colored picture and say things were fine and dandy, but when they missed estimates by a wide margin, they'd be clobbered, even worse than they've already been. The end result is the same, in fact it's worse if they try to escape the truth.
