*AV*--I am in the middle of some private email with a reader and we were discussing ASML. A $39 price was discussed as the 52 week low, as pointed out on some Silicon Investorthread discussing ASML. ASMLF became ASML a little while ago so some of the standard surces of price data may not go back as far as some people thought. On Oct 8th, 1998, ASMLF had fallen to $12.94 according to the data I keep. Therefore, wherever this $39 figure appears, it is inaccurate, probably due to the symbol change. For reference purposes, as of 5/02/99,
52 week high $50.30 on 4/6/99
52 week low $12.94 on 10/8/98
Friday close $39.00 down $2.00
138 Million shares outstanding
$5.4 Billion market capitalization
Short Interest has doubled April vs March but is still only around 1% of the float and no more than 1.5 days volume.
We are seeing a great deal of negativity in the semi sector and RadarView has taken a very positive stance. whether we are correct or not remains to be seen but ASML will transcend either scenario, inour opinion.
Anyway, we all travel the same threads and I wish I could post this information where it really belongs but the information was discussed third hand. So for those of us here, that travel elsewhere and came across the $39.00 figure, please be aware of the inofmration here and get back to that thread and inform them.
