Anyone have any opinion on the automation guys right now(ie. BRKS, ASYT)? They are trading around 1-2X sales while much of the rest of the sector trades at 5 or 6 times sales. If spending on 300mm fabs takes place later this year and into '04, automation equipment will be necessary for any new fab built, as a % much moreso than previously. And once this starts in earnest, these should see much of that capex money.....what am I missing in that these do not seem to be pointing to a recovery? They have had a nice move recently, but are still valued well below the rest of the sector, at least on a PSR basis. TIA Brian
