Agreed.
My thesis is that semi-equips are undervalued now.
My pick for risky small-cap value is ASYT. My pick
for conservative small-cap value is HELX - you get the 6%
dividend, you know. :-) Of course, for the people
unfamiliar with the sector, it's wise to wait for
AMAT to drop to value levels.

IMO, Marty Whitman's picks are not the best of
the breed, but then he made them a quarter ago when prices
were different. He also will ride the theory that the
whole sector will rebound.

BTW, another approach that I may test in the
future is buying high-yield stocks and selling when
they drop from that category either through price
appreciation or through dividend cuts. HELX would
be one such stock.

Good luck

Jurgis
