<Don, so, when are you going to post some happy data for us?>
Gottfried, here's the data, but an interesting bit of information from the tabular data. While the semi-equips were up 6 percent, and the SOX was up 6 percent, 2 of the stocks that are included in both groups, AMAT and KLAC, performed extremely poorly. AMAT was not up at all and KLAC was up a measly 1 percent. This is not what you would expect from the 2 "power-houses" of the group. If you, or anyone else has an explanation, please respond.
Also, in the 16 stock SOX index that was up 6 percent, AMAT and KLAC were the last 2 stocks in the list today. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even close, MOT was 14th in the list with a 3 percent gain. INTC was in 1st place with a 10 percent gain - why not AMAT as well? After all, in the prior 5 days, AMAT went from 40.03 to 29.24, a loss of 27 percent! Today, it couldn't even gain 1 percent. KLAC went from 44.20 to 33.91 in the previous 5 days, a loss of 23 percent and today managed to squeek out a 1 percent gain. Pathetic action today - maybe tomorrow will be better?<gg> 9/21/01 9/24/01 FST CALL NEXT FST CALL CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT NXT YR YEAR LNG TRM SYMBOL PRICE PRICE CHANGE EARN PE GROWTH PE/G LTXX 10.85 12.70 17 0.63 20 23 0.90 MTSN 4.06 4.74 17 -1.17 25 NANO 16.20 18.70 15 0.75 25 25 1.00 WFR 1.74 1.99 14 -1.60 20 FSII 8.00 9.05 13 -0.06 23 PRIA 10.11 11.38 13 -0.37 28 ASML 10.09 11.27 12 0.10 113 25 4.57 BRKS 28.05 31.24 11 0.39 80 25 3.20 VECO 21.81 23.97 10 1.67 14 25 0.57 TER* 20.10 21.90 9 -0.03 23 HELX 15.31 16.60 8 0.35 47 25 1.90 LRCX 16.64 17.95 8 0.81 22 23 0.98 SFAM 1.16 1.23 6 18 COHU 13.40 14.14 6 0.34 42 18 2.31 CMOS 11.48 12.10 5 -0.95 21 PHTN 24.04 25.30 5 0.39 65 30 2.16 NVLS* 28.55 29.96 5 0.99 30 25 1.21 KLIC 10.15 10.58 4 -0.19 20 PLAB 19.05 19.80 4 0.72 28 23 1.20 DPMI 26.44 27.39 4 1.67 16 21 0.78 ATMI 17.29 17.90 4 0.28 64 20 3.15 UTEK 13.01 13.40 3 0.58 23 25 0.92 CYMI 17.20 17.55 2 0.55 32 28 1.16 KLAC* 33.91 34.39 1 1.78 19 25 0.77 SMTL 8.15 8.25 1 0.35 24 21 1.13 EGLS 12.76 12.90 1 -0.79 22 AMAT* 29.24 29.34 0 0.76 39 25 1.54 ASYT 9.58 9.50 -1 0.17 56 25 2.24 TGAL 1.35 1.27 -6 TOTALS 439.72 466.49 6 8.12 57 SOX-X 381.01 401.98 6 COMPQX1423.19 1499.40 5 * STOCKS INCLUDED IN SOX INDEX |
