Doug, what made you decide to purchase SMTL stock adn not FSI? Am I right in saying that they are similar companies? If so, the outlook for them looks much more promising that FSI's. Is SMTL gaining marketshare over FSI. I have been watching SMTL's stock for the last year or so and I realize their stock has been no prize either. But, based on how FSI does, SMTL seems to mirror it pretty well.

Unless FSI can pull a couple of rabbits out of the bag, there revenue and earnings for next year don't look great. They (the earnings)have been downgraded several times. Interestingly enough, I remember back in 1996 when FSI and many industry so called experts were saying that 1996 was not going to be as good as 1995. But, for FSI they earned $1.20 or so in 1996 and the stock traded in the range we are currently in. NOW, IF THEY ARE TO EARN THE PROJECTED $.80 OR SO FOR NEXT YEAR, AND LAST YEAR THEY EARNED $1.20 WITH THE STOCK IN THE RANGE IT IS IN NOW, HOW AM I TO POSSSIBLY BELIEVE THAT THIS STOCK IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING OVER $17-$18 NEXT FISCAL YEAR?
