As I indicated a few weeks ago, I took the time to revise the database of stocks that I have been using. I tried to accommodate the notes I received from others making suggestions for changes. I removed the following from the database: GGNS, SUBM and TRKN I included the following new stocks to the database: AFLX, ASMLF, ATMI, CYMI, DPMI, MASK, SFLX The following is a summary of performance through last Friday comparing 1995 high price (if one were available), 1997 high price, and the closing prices of last Friday. There are now 41 stocks in the database. So far, none of the stocks have regained the highest price achieved in 1997. PLAB has flirted with its high closing price, but then fell back. Now it is approaching that level again, however, ETEC may beat PLAB to the goal. ETEC has really been coming on strong lately. Unfortunately, FSII is way back in the pack and is one of those stocks that did not top its 1995 high price in 1997. It has a long way to go to reach its glory days. 1995 1997 04/03/98 HIGHEST HIGHEST CLOSE PERCENT SYMBOL COMPANY PRICE PRICE PRICE CHANGE PLAB Photronics 20.24 31.38 28.75 -8 ETEC Etec System 9.17 67.13 60.00 -11 ASMLF ASM Lithography Holdings 28.00 105.75 89.75 -15 WJ Watkins Johnson 56.25 37.25 27.44 -26 ATMI ATMI Inc 15.44 41.75 30.63 -27 NANO Nanometrics 10.13 13.63 9.94 -27 NVLS Novellus Systems 43.19 64.69 45.63 -29 TER Teradyne 42.00 58.75 40.88 -30 AMAT Applied Materials 29.56 54.00 37.50 -31 COHU Cohu 35.75 56.00 38.75 -31 MASK Align-Rite International 18.00 24.00 16.00 -33 UTEK Ultratech Stepper 46.75 34.38 22.75 -34 AFLX Adflex Solutions 31.13 28.50 17.94 -37 DPMI Dupont Photomasks 72.00 44.88 -38 TGAL Tegal 13.88 11.25 7.00 -38 HELX Helix Technology 27.00 32.19 19.63 -39 LTXX LTX 14.00 8.19 4.81 -41 IPEC Integrated Process Equipment 54.50 37.19 20.75 -44 CMOS Credence Systems 40.25 54.13 29.75 -45 SVGI Silicon Valley Group 48.38 37.75 20.69 -45 IMSC Integrated Measurement Systems 16.50 20.00 10.75 -46 VECO Veeco Instruments 29.13 72.50 38.75 -47 ASYT Asyst Technologies 26.50 47.25 24.88 -47 SFLX Smartflex Systems 18.75 17.50 9.06 -48 KLAC KLA Instruments 46.91 75.63 38.44 -49 FSII FSI International 37.75 23.19 11.31 -51 SFAM Speed Family 18.25 60.38 28.94 -52 LRCX Lam Research 71.75 66.31 31.31 -53 GSNX Gasonics 26.83 23.06 10.88 -53 PRIA Pri Automation 22.38 58.50 27.38 -53 EGLS Electroglas 39.75 35.25 16.13 -54 SMTL Semitool 36.00 26.88 12.25 -54 WFR MEMC Electronic Materials 38.25 38.75 16.25 -58 MTSN Mattson Technology 31.13 16.00 6.63 -59 ASEC Aseco 21.88 18.88 7.81 -59 PHTN Photon Dynamics 12.00 8.38 3.44 -59 MICN Micrion 16.00 27.50 11.13 -60 BRKS Brooks Automation 24.00 39.69 15.19 -62 KLIC Kulicke & Soffa Industries 44.38 57.25 20.75 -64 CFMT CFM Technologies 40.50 13.63 -66 CYMI Cymer 97.50 23.00 -76 TOTALS 1142 1709 963 -44
