Love the growth expected in SCRM! One analyst has a target of 30 on it over next 12 months....I don't really know anything about the support and resistance levels on it being such a new issue though...tuna

Connor26 -- SCMR, KLIC: I've been thinking about both of these, but am waiting. SCMR has broken through the lower band of its upward trend channel, which is a bad sign for the short term. If it holds its 200 dma, it might be worth a try; but I want to see solid signs of a reversal because it has built up quite a bit of downward momentum. askresearch.com As for KLIC, I'm worried that they may have to give another earnings warning before they report this quarter. After the announcement about order pushouts, a whole slew of analysts downgraded the stock, but they basically left their EPS estimates the same. (Numbers for the current quarter have dropped by only a penny, from 0.64 to 0.63.) If the order pushouts have a material effect, as the company suggested they might, then those estimates may have to come down another notch. biz.yahoo.com I like both companies a great deal, especially KLIC as a rather astonishing value play: FY2000 EPS estimate 1.97, current P/E of about 8, P/E/G of about 0.45 based on a five-year 17.8 percent growth projection. But with the market so skittish and serious near-term questions about these stocks, I'm finding it hard to buy in right here. Of course, it's worth noting that my biggest "problem" as a trader is that I'm hyper-cautious -- miss lots of great buys because I see the dark clouds instead of the silver lining. LOL!
