If anyone is interested...
I ran across this old inactive thread tonight and felt compelled to plug in today's numbers.
Read Mason's earlier posts for explanation of his index. His model portfolio started with
$100 of each issue, except $200 of AMAT. Fractional shares indicated in first column.

Mason apparently cut his losses (if any) last December and figured he'd get back
to this list "sometime in the next two years." (reply-44) Current posts on other
threads indicate that his sometime might be now. (hi Mason...)

That's quite a recovery in the past two weeks; a 45 percent gain.
Hope I didn't miss any splits (ASMLF was the only one I found).

continuously maintained index of semi-equip issues.
