I saw that and took a small position at 19. His picks are usually very, very good. Stock might have a shot at breaking out tomorrow.

The ironic thing is I was doing some checking on GBT at the same he came out with that one too. Same thing again with ALSC. Waiting to see if I can use my ESP to get the next one. <g>

p.s. Anyone ever here from Clint anymore?

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--Nanometrics Inc. today reported revenues jumped 158% to
$12.9 million in the fourth quarter last year compared to $5.0 million during the
same period in 1998. The metrology supplier posted a net income of $1.6 million
in the fourth quarter vs. a net loss of $683,000 in the previous year.

The fourth-quarter revenues were a record high for the Sunnyvale company, which
said its sales were driven by strong demand for process-control metrology in the
U.S. and Asia-Pacific markets.

For the year, Nanometrics' revenues grew 9% to $36.4 million compared to $33.3
million in 1998. The company's net income was $2.6 million last year, a 44%
increase over $1.8 million in 1998.
