Hi G,

Does that mean we usually lose 9 cents today at the close?

All dividends graciously accepted - now lets have an increase.LOL

i forgot it was ex date so if it closes in the green today it could mean there is suddenly real buying interest...big IF but why not when the stock is so beaten down

Nasty dip to new low and then a quick recovery.

Wouldn't you know it another hard to own stock.

It does have the nicest owners over here and that helps me hang in there.

I think Amat and Intc will show this mature sector what must be done to have price appreciation.

Concentrate on the dividend and buy back as much stock as you give the execs (no dilution) and these fortress balance sheets will get respect amongst conservative investors in these low rate markets.

Sure would be nice to get 3.0% plus and a double. LOL

Bob

Don't you love outside reversal days (when they go up)

when the naz goes to 5K dontchu think AMAT will be closer to 50 than 10 bucks? so yes I'll take the 3% but I'll wait for my 5 bagger even if it means waiting for another 6 years :)

My fingers shake too hard when they type anything over a double.

These last 12 years have just about beat all exuberance out of me even hoping.

If / when that should ever happen - I'll be able to generate some greed bubbling through my veins.

Amen bro.

It has been long enough.

I thought with the cycles it might recover in 3,then 6 then 9 and now 12.
At 12 I'm thinking with the huge shift to mobility - it is simply over due.

The one stark difference is so many firms have gone away.

Ran out of money and even more powerful the mergers and acquisitions.

The timing of today's market is very much like the day when Klac and Tencor merged.

It signaled the beginning of semi's expansion and the sector's trajectory into retail popularity.

The fabs are basically just 4 now and three are rushung to catch up to Intel.

When each of these fabs is spending 12 billion plus this year - think of the uniot count that will come off of the lines.

Smart phones are su[pposed to double 660 million a year, as PC drop from 10 % growth to 2% growth and tablets more than make up the difference.

As our real estate begins to contribute to growth and employment since a 6 year hiatus - think what a confident consumer who has paid off much debt can buy?

The good times are coming back and most can not even consider it.

Bob

ditto to everything....judging by the reported earnings from the sox components this quarter which were not too shabby who would have thunk it possible the index would be down 10% so far for the month of May! i think investors and the big fish in this sector get easily spooked.
