So Merrill Lynch comes out with a nanotechnology index that has 25 members. For some reason NANO was included and it, like many in the group named, was up sharply today. It really makes you wonder.
I happen to own two which are certainly on the Nanotechnology level: (WEDX, JMAR). I am not sure why NANO, VECO, and UTEK are in the group.
__________ The following companies will be included in the index: Amcol International (ACO), Applied Films (AFCO), Altair Nanotechnologies (ALTI), Biosante Pharmaceuticals (BPA), Caliper Life Sciences (CALP), Cabot Microelectronics (CCMP), Emcore (EMKR), FEI (FEIC), Flamel Technologies (FLML), Headwaters (HDWR), JMAR Tech (JMAR), MTS Systems (MTSC), Nanometrics (NANO), Nanophase Technologies (NANX), Nanogen (NGEN), NVE Corp. (NVEC), Universal Display (PANL), Pharmacopeia (ACCL), SkyePharma (SKYE), Symyx Technologies (SMMX), Three-Five Systems (TFS), Harris & Harris (TINY), Ultratech (UTEK), Veeco Instruments (VECO) and Westaim (WEDX). |
