Perhaps it is only fair to also compare the next low in the Group prices to today's prices. The next low occurred approximately 13 months later in October 1998. This 4 year period looks considerably better. 10/08/98 9/13/02 FST CALL NEXT FST CALL CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT NXT YR YEAR LNG TRM SYMBOL PRICE PRICE CHANGE EARN PE GROWTH PEG PHTN 2.25 22.56 903 1.05 21 25 0.86 LTXX 1.31 7.81 496 -0.29 20 LRCX 2.93 10.75 267 0.66 16 21 0.79 CYMI 6.50 22.35 244 1.26 18 24 0.75 NVLS* 7.30 23.85 227 0.72 33 23 1.47 KLAC* 10.94 31.65 189 1.83 17 23 0.75 ASYT 3.13 8.99 187 0.78 12 25 0.47 SMTL 2.57 6.10 137 0.17 36 21 1.73 AMAT* 5.59 13.03 133 0.49 27 20 1.31 CMOS 5.00 11.63 133 -0.54 20 COHU 6.75 14.68 117 0.61 24 13 1.93 BRKS 8.38 16.05 92 0.24 67 20 3.34 ASML 4.38 7.92 81 0.32 25 18 1.41 TER* 7.82 12.30 57 -0.04 20 DPMI 17.88 25.13 41 0.68 37 22 1.68 ATMI 11.50 15.51 35 0.83 19 21 0.91 PLAB 9.50 12.77 34 0.30 43 23 1.85 HELX 7.88 10.35 31 0.30 35 25 1.38 WFR 3.63 4.26 17 0.45 9 20 0.47 FSII 4.25 4.20 -1 -0.26 23 NANO 4.80 4.55 -5 -0.06 UTEK 13.56 11.68 -14 0.42 28 25 1.11 MTSN 2.75 2.30 -16 -0.88 23 KLIC 5.19 4.25 -18 -0.54 20 VECO 21.63 13.55 -37 0.71 19 22 0.88 SFAM 9.50 4.27 -55 0.22 19 18 1.11 EGLS 7.94 3.08 -61 -1.77 22 TGAL 1.81 0.53 -71 TOTALS 196.67 326.10 66 7.66 43 SOX-X 189.90 280.52 48 COMPQX1419.12 1291.40 -9 * STOCKS INCLUDED IN SOX INDEX

Donald, that's quite a table. Thanks for taking the time to compile it. The destruction is breathtaking.

That is interesting Don. If you have the time I would really like to see the same comparison for the stocks in the SOX. On another note last week I was emailed the Nimda virus. It was unsuccessful infecting my computer because I quickly downloaded some software to deal with it. I highly recommend that everyone look for new software releases at ZDNET if they have similar troubles: downloads-zdnet.com.com RtS
