<<<<<Please go over the good fundamentals>>>>>>>> Jim, Henry, Take a look at revenue and earnings for the past five years. Market makers prey off of people who start running scared as the price gets bumped down. Guys, think of this like a game. When the price goes down, buy! When the price goes up, consider taking some earnings. Pleeeeasssse......stop the whining,.... and get with the program! Richard (still has flu and is irritable)

Happy New Year to you, too, Jim. I think we're all let down by the late year sell-off in the stock. I'm wondering if possibly it's the whole industry (semi-equipment stocks) that is the reason. Cymer is down to 15 from a post-split price of about 46 or so. John Bolinger was just talking about this group of stocks on CNBC, commenting on how some are down to 30% of their earlier value this year. The folks over on the Cymer board are criticizing the co. execs about poor P-R there, too. When a stock is doing badly, it's natural to look for someone to blame. Sometimes, however, it's primarily market conditions that are mostly the reason for a sell-off, and not necessarily anything the company did. (Although in JMAR's case, the Swiss deal didn't help us.) I think we have to assess the businesses that JMAR is in and ask ourselves whether we think they will do well in '98 or not. In my opinion, I think they will. The disk drive inspection systems will be a "hot" market. Just today, I heard that IBM has announced a new disk drive technology that will put many gigabytes of data on a disk the size of a postage stamp. (I'll try to post a link if I can find it.) This is going to require even more precision inspection systems, and I would bet that JMAR will be able to do it. biz.yahoo.com I can't predict with certainty what will happen with the stock in the coming year, however, I feel better days are ahead. I just don't know how FAR ahead. Betty

Me too. I haven't paid much attention to JMAR since I sold off 3/4 of my rather large holdings about 6 months ago, which made up 50% of my portfolio at the time. Haven't looked at a single post in months. Of course, 50% was a bit too heady for me, but I did make a bit of a profit, enough that the 1/4 I kept is a free ride. Maybe I'll buy some more again since it's at about the same price it was when I loaded up the last time. Great to see the long time boosters still cheerleading the stock, and here's wishing everybody a happy new year. I'll do a little research over the next few weeks, and see what my "gut" tells me to do. And as far as a few folks wishing that JMAR reps would field our questions on this board, I don't think you should feel disappointed. I think they've been here all along. Course, I could be wrong. It's not material, really, provided I can make some money again.I have to survey the disappointments from the past year, versus the company's actual potential and strengths. I assume it's still the old reliable "chip checkers". One question. How much money did they get from Dapra this past year, and how far into the future will that continue? I thought Dapra was going to be more selective in who gets new money. I would count that as good sign if JMAR is still getting full support. What companies have suffered from the cutbacks? Al Cassaro. Have a good 'un.
