Matt,
Wish I knew, but I think AMAT is the gorilla of its' industry and has
a more diversified product line. Gorillas get a lot of respect!

Matt,

I cant speak for ASND, but KLAC & AMAT tend to trade in tandem most of the time. They are both leaders in their fields so each gets a premium. However, AMAT has recently moved into metrology w/ the acquisition of Opal & Orbot so KLAC may not necessarily trade in tandem if AMAT can eat some of their pie. 4-5 yrs out though, both will prove to be phenomenol investments at these prices.
