While the rally was great this week, it really started last Friday morning. This 6 trading day period is "eerily" similar to the 6 day trading period at the beginning of the last powerful up cycle beginning on Friday morning, 9 Oct 1998. Shown below is the comparison of stock gains for the 2 different 6 day periods. This table is not sorted by percent gains - that will be the next post. Notice at the bottom line the similar gains of the group(23 vs 22 percent) SOX(25 vs 22 percent) and the NASDAQ( 11 vs 14 percent). 2/28/02 3/8/02 10/08/98 10/16/98 CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT SYMBOL PRICE PRICE CHANGE PRICE PRICE CHANGE AMAT* 43.37 53.53 23 11.19 14.66 31 ASML 20.35 24.44 20 4.38 6.38 46 ASYT 16.78 18.49 10 3.13 3.32 6 ATMI 25.62 32.00 25 11.50 12.06 5 BRKS 43.77 50.86 16 8.38 9.25 10 CMOS 15.68 20.91 33 5.00 5.28 6 COHU 23.04 29.34 27 6.75 6.75 0 CYMI 36.63 45.74 25 6.50 9.44 45 DPMI 42.98 52.89 23 17.88 23.00 29 EGLS 15.42 18.35 19 7.94 9.88 24 FSII 9.62 10.80 12 4.25 4.81 13 HELX 18.42 22.65 23 7.88 8.06 2 KLAC* 57.41 69.47 21 10.94 13.41 23 KLIC 17.62 21.06 20 5.19 6.00 16 LRCX 21.64 28.88 33 2.93 3.32 13 LTXX 21.60 27.28 26 1.31 1.25 -5 MTSN 5.44 7.60 40 2.75 3.06 11 NANO 15.02 19.47 30 4.80 5.44 13 NVLS* 42.59 53.97 27 7.30 10.69 46 PHTN 41.32 52.16 26 2.25 2.69 20 PLAB 28.89 34.34 19 9.50 12.88 36 PRIA 22.48 26.30 17 10.25 11.88 16 SFAM 2.66 3.53 33 9.50 10.88 15 SMTL 9.95 11.47 15 2.57 3.13 22 TER* 33.51 39.20 17 7.82 12.69 62 TGAL 1.28 1.36 6 1.81 1.69 -7 UTEK 15.69 20.15 28 13.56 17.50 29 VECO 25.01 31.65 27 21.63 25.06 16 WFR 3.76 4.80 28 3.63 5.13 41 TOTALS 677.55 832.69 23 212.52 259.57 22 SOX-X 510.83 637.94 25 189.90 230.98 22 COMPQX1731.49 1929.67 11 1419.12 1620.95 14 * STOCKS INCLUDED IN SOX INDEX
