Gottfried, <<it would be helpful if we shared our strategies>>Well here's a strategy that's bound to create some interest. The big winners thus far have been AMAT, NVLS and KLAC. But the rest of my portfolio suffers from miniaturization, (ASYT, CYMI, VLSI ADI, COHU etc.)

Using just the stocks in the semiconductor equipment area here is how I would reallocate my resources. I would (I did) sell part of my positions in each of the above stocks the purchase the following stocks. Based on Fridays closing prices the acquisition cost of the following is $9,912.00 plus commissions.

Symbol # Shares Closing Price
Micn 200 6 1/4
LRCX 100 14 1/2
FSII 200 6 3/8
SFLX 100 8 3/8
NANO 200 6 5/8
GSNX 100 7 3/8
PHTN 300 4
LTXX 300 2 1/2
HELX 100 10 7/8

I expect the AMAT will continue to hold up well. But in the next six months will it double? Some of these stocks on this list will because the trend now is to undervalued small caps.

I believe that there are two ways to approach this problem. (How to create wealth without trying too hard or getting too slick) One would be to sell part of a badly losing position that will be a long time in the recovers room. ( for me this would be CYMI and VLSI). The Other approach would be to sell approximately 270 share of AMAT to purchase the above mentioned portfolio. You would be going from 270 share of AMAT to l600 shares of the above.

I do believe in taking my own advice and I do own the above portfolio minus one stock that I will purchase on Monday. If anyone has a better mixture of Semiconductor Equipment stocks please be free to post your portfolio recommendations , keeping the total value about $10,000.

Good Luck Monday,........Jerome
