Ian, it is the low, dull, below average, volume of 96000 that bodes the gloom for this stock in the immediate future, when other equipment makers have million+ volume. SVGI may have excellent products- but if they can't sell them vigorously and make good profit margins, the Street will set them aside for better yielding stocks. I have nothing personal against SVGI's technology, which is quite good. It is their management, marketing and sales that need fine tuning. They better achieve that before the end of the year, so that they can have a good 2000 and 2001, which are part of the upcoming upward semi cycle. If they miss out, they will be in the bottom tier. AMAT despite its steep run up from $ 20 last fall to 60+, is still rated buy and strong buy by many analysts. SVGI hasn't even obtained a neutral or market performer rating yet this year. SVGI management better shape up!
