The following table is sorted by "next years PE" in ascending order. I wanted to see if there was any correlation between the performance of each individual stock this week with next year's PE. Of course I knew the answer beforehand by "eyeballing" the data, but I thought I would share the sorted data with everyone. All you have to do is look at the first stock, KLIC, in the table. Its next year PE is 9, yet it lost 16 percent this week. Only 1 stock, CMOS, out of the group of 34, lost more this week with 18 percent. All told, 7 stocks with PEs 20, or less, lost 10 percent or more this week. 5/12/00 5/19/00 NEXT SUM CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT YEAR 2 YR SYMBOL PRICE PRICE CHANGE PE EARN KLIC 57.38 48.44 -16 9 8.59 IMSC 15.38 15.00 -2 13 2.12 COHU 36.25 36.88 2 14 5.09 SVGI 26.00 26.00 0 14 3.04 CYMI 30.94 32.31 4 14 3.76 SFAM 13.88 12.75 -8 14 0.36 EGLS 30.31 30.44 0 14 4.05 HELX 41.00 38.88 -5 16 4.19 PLAB 26.88 23.81 -11 16 2.40 GSNX 28.75 24.88 -13 16 2.56 SMTL 17.25 15.56 -10 17 1.56 VECO 49.75 44.63 -10 17 4.43 LRCX 33.38 30.38 -9 17 3.07 NVLS 49.13 46.94 -4 18 4.64 FSII 13.00 13.44 3 18 0.31 ASYT 42.13 38.00 -10 18 3.60 LTXX 30.00 26.75 -11 20 2.10 UTEK 13.50 13.75 2 21 0.87 ATMI 38.63 40.31 4 21 3.23 TER 87.94 84.75 -4 22 6.76 CMOS 66.69 54.50 -18 23 4.16 MTSN 38.94 38.81 0 24 2.68 BRKS 68.00 61.50 -10 25 4.00 DPMI 60.31 63.00 4 25 4.11 CFMT 10.13 9.19 -9 26 -0.40 KLAC 51.81 52.38 1 26 3.21 AMAT 84.44 80.19 -5 27 5.10 NANO 38.25 33.25 -13 28 2.07 PRIA 64.00 56.75 -11 29 2.96 ASML 35.19 35.38 1 30 1.98 PHTN 71.25 62.88 -12 44 2.56 WFR 15.88 13.69 -14 685 -1.16 MASK 22.25 20.05 -10 1.11 TGAL 5.00 4.75 -5 0.08 TOTAL 1313.62 1230.22 -6
