Hi Betty: I like this part----
Last year, about 300 of these machines were sold worldwide by companies including ASM, Nikon and Canon. This year, as many as 500 may be sold, said Dan Hutcheson, president of VLSI Research, a semiconductor market research firm in San Jose, Calif.
"This is a fundamental transition," he said. "It's not like going from Pentium to Pentium Pro. It's an entirely new architecture."
For Deahna, that suggests these companies will continue to outperform the rest of the semiconductor industry. He said he expected the five companies in the index to have annual growth of more than 30 percent over the next five years, while the overall semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industries will grow 17 percent to 18 percent.
"The chip makers don't have any choice," he said. "They have to pay the piper, and the market has recognized this."
From 300 last year to 500 this year sounds great to me for this year and obviously 30% annual growth for the next five years sounds super as well.
Beats investing in penny stocks and any stocks under $12 which no one should invest in, IMO.
Good Luck To Each and All
