A very strange week - one that I haven't seen for a long time, if ever, since I have been posting these results. The group is up 3 percent for the week while the SOX-X is up 10 percent. That is a very large difference that does not happen often. Even of more potential concern is the disparity with the SOX-X index itself. Out of the 16 stock index, 4 reside in the group as marked in the table below with the asterisk. Adding the four closing stock prices together last week and this week, and finding the percent gain - the result is 1 percent. That means the other 12 members of the SOX-X had to do a lot better than 10 percent to get all 16 members to 10 percent. As usual, the spread in percentage gain and loss is very large for the week running from a positive 30 percent for NANO down to a 12 percent loss for FSII. Just so everyone knows who reads this post, I sold all my shares of FSII on Tuesday of this week for 18 5/8. I bought them in June of 1996 for 13 which computes to a gain of 43 percent for over a 3 and one-half year period. About the only thing I can say is that it is probably a better return than the money market. <gg>. There are 22 stocks up, 1 the same, and 12 down for the week. One thing more. I added the Nasdaq Composite Index in this week for another comparison point. The group couldn't even keep up with the Nasdaq gain of 4 percent for the week. 2/18/00 2/25/00 CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT SYMBOL COMPANY PRICE PRICE CHANGE NANO Nanometrics 30.75 40.00 30 TGAL Tegal 7.06 8.25 17 CMOS Credence Systems 105.50 118.75 13 PHTN Photon Dynamics 72.13 80.00 11 EGLS Electroglas 37.00 40.90 11 TER Teradyne * 77.50 84.88 10 KLIC Kulicke & Soffa Industries 67.06 73.25 9 HELX Helix Technology 60.50 66.03 9 ASYT Asyst Technologies 37.75 40.13 6 MASK Align-Rite International 27.00 28.69 6 PLAB Photronics 37.50 39.75 6 PRIA Pri Automation 77.00 80.63 5 SFAM SpeedFAM 24.75 25.75 4 DPMI Dupont Photomasks 55.69 57.88 4 SVGI Silicon Valley Group 25.00 25.88 4 NVLS Novellus Systems * 51.50 53.13 3 SMTL Semitool 37.88 38.75 2 IMSC Integrated Measurement Systems 21.69 22.06 2 BRKS Brooks Automation 60.81 61.75 2 KLAC KLA Instruments * 68.00 68.63 1 UTEK Ultratech Stepper 15.00 15.13 1 COHU Cohu 54.88 55.16 1 ETEC Etec System 110.50 110.63 0 CYMI Cymer 54.56 54.25 -1 LRCX Lam Research 138.44 137.50 -1 WFR MEMC Electronic Materials 15.38 15.25 -1 MTSN Mattson Technology 42.00 41.50 -1 LTXX LTX 38.31 37.75 -1 CFMT CFM Technologies 14.25 13.88 -3 ASML ASM Lithography Holdings 127.25 123.88 -3 AMAT Applied Materials * 177.75 172.31 -3 ATMI ATMI Inc 44.44 43.06 -3 GSNX Gasonics 32.13 31.00 -4 VECO Veeco Instruments 76.63 73.00 -5 FSII FSI International 19.75 17.38 -12 TOTALS 1943.34 1996.77 3 SOX-X Phili Semiconductor Index 935.94 1032.02 10 COMPQX Nasdaq Composite Index 4411.74 4590.50 4 * Component of 16 stock SOX-X Index
