Nice bounce off the lower Keltner as the 50 day dips below the 200, but appears to be reversing. It's a bargain semi equipment company that has turned around after it purchase of Xcerra. I now believe they have achieved scale much like KLAC, AMAT, and LRCX did with their past large acquisitions of Tencor, Varian, and Novellus.

It is a much smaller company than the above admittedly.

When you acquire your only large competitor, vs. kill each other with price competition and market share wars, you achieve scale and combine AN EXISTING INSTALL OF YOU EQUIPMENT (now over 28,000 handlers) WHICH IS A GREAT PARTS AND SERVICE BUSINESS EVEN IN TROUGH TIMES.

Fortunately now they are in a boom for new systems and are estimated to make over $3.15 this year.

A PE of 10ish = a conservative long term investment.

You have my permission top put this in your investment newsletter. <smile>

Bob

Market Update 7/25/21 - New Record Highs
Market sentiment is still "Fearful" as measured by the "Fear & Greed Index" which is amazing since the biggest declines usually begin when market participants are overly exuberant. Is it a fear of heights or FOMA buyers slowly capitulating, gritting their teeth and turning from bears to bulls to buy?
