Gary, Thanks a bunch for the sites, I will review them this week end when I have time. My intention is to catch AMAT (and other stocks) when the market is in maximum turmoil and hopefully within 10% of their bottom prices. My buying technique is to weigh downside risk vs upside potential using fundamental analysis supported with technical analysis and market/industry weakness/instability/world econmic trends. Tricky but very lucrative and less risky, IMO. My next "major" purchases will be with the intent of longer term holds until the stocks peak again minus 5-10% at which time I will sell, though that could be a bit of a wait. My target gains are 4x-5x (or more) initial investment within 2-3 years (or sooner),and I can afford to wait. Seems like I always hear from those who have invested at higher levels that I will miss the boat, not a chance. The cards are dealt, the players are placing their bets, and I'm the dealer. There is one more draw, and I get "last draw" and get to see everyone elses hand and all the wild cards before I need to bet, and I've got piles of chips to support my hand. I will call and raise when the time is right. BB regards, BB
