Brian, Just think soon you will be even on your $54 margined amount and making money. Perhaps, you have been able to make additional $$$$ by purchasing AMAT at the lower prices. Right? Keep the Faith. Gottfried and Tito, go to the dorseywright site, dorseywright.com, key in amat and the expanded chart. Then note the pole upward movements followed by the plateau (trading ranges) above the original bull support line off the lows from 1996. It appears that we have approximately four plateau (trading ranges) preceded by pole upward movements as amat rose to $108 presplit ($54 postsplit). These movements appear significant to me. What are your thoughts? Just my opinions. PS I am tired of typing the "V" at the end of Paul. Therefore, in the future I will only sign Paul><g> Paul

Jeff << DERA Selects Applied Materials' Epi Centura for SiGe Applications; Industry-Leading Epi Technology Enables Rapid Development of Higher-Speed, Lower-Power Devices -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story Filed: Wednesday, January 06, 1999 07:17 AM EST SANTA CLARA, CALIF. (Jan. 6) BUSINESS WIRE -Jan. 6, 1999--Applied Materials, Inc. today announced that the Defense Evaluation and Research Agency of the U.K. (DERA), one of Europe's largest research organizations, has purchased an Epi Centura(R) system for its facility in Malvern, England. DERA will use the industry-leading Epi Centura to develop silicon germanium (SiGe) applications for building high-performance devices. DERA's SiGe development effort is driven by a growing number of communications and information handling applications that require higher-performance, lower-power electronic components. Silicon germanium, an emerging technology, enables the formation of significantly faster, more power-efficient transistors. A practical, less costly alternative to gallium arsenide (GaAs), SiGe is fully compatible with current silicon manufacturing technology and requires minimal new investment. "Acquiring the Epi Centura is part of our plan to move into the semiconductor marketplace," said Dr. David Robbins, a Senior Fellow of DERA. "Silicon germanium technology is a key part of this initiative because it is ideal for building many of the chips used in advanced communications applications. The Epi Centura will provide the enabling ultra-low pressure, low-temperature epi processes required for our SiGe development activities and gives us the opportunity to work with Applied Materials." Grant Imper, General Manager of Applied Materials' Epi Division, commented, "The Epi Centura system is optimized to enable the rapid development and manufacture of SiGe-based devices. The system achieves this by providing an advanced low-pressure architecture, precise temperature control and excellent particle performance. We're pleased that DERA has selected our epi technology for their SiGe applications and look forward to working with them in their efforts to advance this technology." The Epi Centura, launched in 1993, is the industry's leading system for silicon epitaxial deposition. Through its continuous improvement program, Applied Materials has consistently innovated its technology to provide customers with the most advanced and cost effective epitaxial solutions. This strategy has enabled the company to achieve approximately 57 percent of the epitaxial deposition market in 1997, according to Dataquest, a market research firm. DERA is an agency of the U.K. Ministry of Defense, and is one of Europe's largest single research organizations with an annual revenue exceeding $1 billion. DERA offers a range of consultancy and research services, and its 12,000 staff members include many internationally-acclaimed scientists. The DERA web site is www.dera.gov.uk. >>
