Yes, congratulations to all the the longs. And congratulations to those who know how to play the upgrade game. Love that accumulation on Friday on 14m shares. Then, oh my, an AMAT upgrade on at least two fronts on Monday with 18m shares. Does NVLS make a new high? No. Does KLAC make a new high? No. Does TER make a new high? No again. AMAT does because it has yet to release earnings. Wow. Hop on board the AMAT train at $63.5 on Monday morning, then sell at the close at $67.25 and then go short at the same price and cover this morning at $64 1/16. And then sit on the sidelines to play yet again. Now that is what I call greed. Thanks to all the analysts who allowed me to play once again. Hey, does any analyst have any upgrade left in him or her or have they shot their cycle wad?
