For the 1st time in a long while, AMAT is the worst performing stock in my portfolio:-((

Richard, re AMAT can't stay up for long in the face of disappointing results from an industry giant like ETEC? <G> Especially when btb is [horrors!] down. Actually btb was rarely higher... geocities.com:80/WallStreet/5464/btb.gif But that's the explanation given... Charles Boucher, semiconductor industry analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, told CBS.MarketWatch.com that companies such as KLA-Tencor, Novellus and Applied Materials would have been affected by the report, because the book-to-bill ratio "was off a little bit from last month's report. Those stocks may be selling off." cbs.marketwatch.com Once again you see that we NEED these analysts to explain things. Gottfried
