I think we have a "first" this week since I have been keeping records. Both the group sum and the SOX-X did nothing this past week - Zippo!!! Both averages went all week and closed with no change. Having said that, however, just look at the individual stocks. Nothing like a little action, both high and low! NANO decided to "move out" this week with a 31 percent gain to occupy top spot. On the lower end, guess what? - that hard driving stock, LRCX, that went from 27 in May to 92 last Friday, a gain of 241 percent over that period, lost 16 percent this week to wind up in last place out of the 36 stocks. What is going on here??? For the week, 18 stocks were up, 5 stayed the same, and 13 were down. The SOX-X components, TER, AMAT, KLAC, and NVLS were all at 0 percent gain or less for the week. 11/12/99 11/19/99 CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT SYMBOL COMPANY PRICE PRICE CHANGE NANO Nanometrics 14.00 18.38 31 BRKS Brooks Automation 26.00 29.94 15 PLAB Photronics 23.63 27.19 15 MASK Align-Rite International 18.80 21.63 15 UTEK Ultratech Stepper 17.00 18.75 10 TGAL Tegal 2.44 2.69 10 DPMI Dupont Photomasks 57.13 62.75 10 PHTN Photon Dynamics 33.38 36.38 9 MTSN Mattson Technology 15.56 16.94 9 KLIC Kulicke & Soffa Industries 37.00 39.44 7 PRIA Pri Automation 49.38 51.75 5 LTXX LTX 18.88 19.69 4 ASML ASM Lithography Holdings 83.00 85.94 4 ASEC Aseco 3.00 3.09 3 COHU Cohu 23.75 24.44 3 EGLS Electroglas 26.75 27.50 3 SFAM SpeedFAM 12.63 12.81 1 VECO Veeco Instruments 48.13 48.38 1 GSNX Gasonics 16.88 16.94 0 TER Teradyne * 48.56 48.50 0 CYMI Cymer 45.31 45.25 0 WFR MEMC Electronic Materials 14.56 14.50 0 IMSC Integrated Measurement Systems 12.94 12.88 0 SVGI Silicon Valley Group 15.00 14.88 -1 AMAT Applied Materials * 109.00 107.25 -2 SMTL Semitool 11.88 11.63 -2 ASYT Asyst Technologies 41.13 40.19 -2 FSII FSI International 10.38 10.06 -3 HELX Helix Technology 46.19 44.38 -4 KLAC KLA Instruments * 96.75 92.19 -5 CMOS Credence Systems 57.00 53.75 -6 NVLS Novellus Systems * 96.00 90.50 -6 CFMT CFM Technologies 12.00 11.19 -7 ETEC Etec System 45.75 42.13 -8 ATMI ATMI Inc 32.13 29.31 -9 LRCX Lam Research 92.63 78.25 -16 TOTALS 1314.55 1311.47 0 SOX-X Phili Semiconductor Index 656.10 654.14 0 * Component of 16 stock SOX-X Index
