First, the volume is different because the three companies are big. Applied
Materials is a small or medium-scale enterprise.

I am surprised that the financial information of one company is found by
looking at many sources.
Fortunately, there are plenty of sources of financial information. The
company would have only the best information about itself. Other sources
would share good news as well as bad news about the company. If we use many
sources\, we can get a good picture of all the news about the company. Then
we can make an informed decision about the company.

I shake with fear . . .
I thought you would!! Glad you liked the humor.
> Dancinge skeleton is for fun.
The dancing skeleton is for fun.
I thought he was cute.
> Halloween is big festival?
Yes, it is. I was talking with some of my co-workers. We all agreed that we
look forward to Halloween every year. We enjoy it more than the other
holidays. It is a chance for us to be kids again.
When I handed out the candy I wore a pair of earrings that were dancing
skeletons. I wore a big black plastic bag like a shirt. I drew a skeleton on
a white plastic bag and taped that on top of the black plastic "shirt." I got
some strange looks from some of the kids!
> Do you see the small children dressed in costume?
Yes, very many. Many more than I expected! I gave away approximately 100
pieces of candy or snack food bags. I expected about 20 or 30. One hour
after the first child rang my doorbell, I had to go to the store for more!
That was unusual.
> Do you think that they pretty?
Do you think that they were pretty?
I think that the small children were very cute. Some of the 2, 3 and 4
year-olds came dressed as bunnies or pumpkins or Pikachu. Some of the girls
were pretty princesses. Some of the older children (boys and girls) were
funny! They use their imaginations and dress like ghosts or vampires. And
some of the very old "children," 16,17 or 18 years old, just wanted candy for
free. They came with no costume. They had pillow cases to hold their loot! A
pillow case is about a meter deep and half a meter wide. It can hold a lot of
candy.

We had a very unusual week in the US this past week. We had our presidential
election. Every four years we go to the polls on the first Tuesday in November
and vote for president. Usually, we know who will be president by the wee
hours of Wednesday.
This time we don't know! The votes were so close that no one can officially be
declared a winner yet. Usually, there is a strong preference for one candidate
over the other. So there is no doubt who will be the new president next
January.
We are all startled at this outcome. I think we Americans will think again
about how we elect our president. I won't be surprised if we get rid of the
"Electoral College." It is not a real university. It is a system of using the
popular vote to indirectly pick a president. The system worked well in the
early days of our nation. It does not work so well 200 years later.
And this election showed that there are many difficulties with getting an
accurate way of voting. I think the US will use many more computers to record
votes in the next election!
This week's lesson is at:

We will talk a little about how
technology is changing.
