This is an update on the 37 stocks since last April 25th through today. The spread is enormous. Probably one message is that if you buy and hold, you better be a good stock picker. One other thing to point out, these gains are made only if you bought on 25 April, the low point last year for many of these stocks. Buying at any other time would reduce these gains. 04/25/97 03/20/98 CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT SYMBOL COMPANY PRICE PRICE CHANGE ASYT Asyst Technologies 9.94 22.47 126 ETEC Etec System 27.50 53.63 95 NANO Nanometrics 5.50 10.00 82 CMOS Credence Systems 14.50 25.56 76 PLAB Phototronics 15.88 26.75 68 NVLS Novellus Systems 26.44 40.81 54 SMTL Semitool 9.63 14.13 47 COHU Cohu 24.88 35.63 43 GSNX Gasonics 8.13 11.50 41 AMAT Applied Materials 24.31 33.25 37 IPEC Integrated Process Equipment 15.13 19.75 31 UTEK Ultratech Stepper 17.50 21.38 22 TER Teradyne 30.75 37.13 21 HELX Helix Technology 15.50 18.56 20 LTXX LTX 4.25 5.00 18 PRIA Pri Automation 22.56 24.91 10 VECO Veeco Instruments 29.25 30.63 5 BRKS Brooks Automation 14.00 14.50 4 SVGI Silicon Valley Group 19.75 20.25 3 WJ Watkins Johnson 26.38 26.88 2 FSII FSI International 11.50 11.63 1 SFAM SpeedFAM 26.13 26.25 0 TGAL Tegal 5.50 5.50 0 EGLS Electroglas 16.50 16.06 -3 LRCX Lam Research 27.75 26.94 -3 KLAC KLA Instruments 41.50 37.63 -9 IMSC Integrated Measurement Systems 13.25 11.75 -11 ASEC Aseco 8.75 7.63 -13 MICN Micrion 13.13 11.00 -16 MTSN Mattson Technology 8.00 6.69 -16 KLIC Kulicke & Soffa Industries 27.25 22.13 -19 PHTN Photon Dynamics 5.44 3.25 -40 WFR MEMC Electronic Materials 25.50 15.00 -41 GGNS Genus 3.50 2.03 -42 SUBM Submicron Systems 3.13 1.75 -44 CFMT CFM Technologies 32.50 14.88 -54 TRKN Trikon Technologies 5.25 1.09 -79 TOTALS 636 714 12
