Thread,

I am looking for understanding with the following table:

Current 52 Week
Price High High
---------- -------- ---------
NASDAQ $1,779 $1,788.00 -1%

AMAT $33.31 $54.18 -39%
SEG $21.56 $54.13 -60%
INTC $76.34 $102.00 -25%
CSCO $64.56 $68.50 -6%
MSFT $80.38 $86.00 -7%
AMGN $60.22 $69.38 -13%
DELL $62.31 $71.94 -13%
MCIC $48.91 $49.00 0%
WCOM $43.00 $43.00 0%
SUNW $43.91 $53.31 -18%

The NASDAQ is just barely off of its high, yet except for
MCIC & WCOM, most of the above stocks are noticeably
off of their high. Where is all of the strength coming from?

TIA

Doug

David sorry I am posting to you but I do not know how to post to myself.

I live in Austin and both of my brother-in-laws work for amat. In January I knew about the shut downs this summer. What they are are forced vacations.

Last saturday I was speaking to one of my brother in laws and he indicated the shut down will be for three weeks now, not two. Is this new news or did I not remember him correctly from January.

Thanks.
