I am sure everyome is aware of this but since someone questioned me on this, I thought I would share this info. The data on the bottom of this page is incorrect relative to the 52 week low. It only reflects the low since the symbol change. Also on the subject of earnings releases, ASML is on a 6 month reporting cycle unless the symbol change also meant they were going to a quarterly reporting schedule. I was in the middle of some private email with a reader and we were discussing ASML. A $39 price was discussed as the 52 week low, as pointed out on the bottom of this Silicon Investor thread. ASMLF became ASML a little while ago so some of the standard surces of price data may not go back as far as some people thought. On Oct 8th, 1998, ASMLF had fallen to $12.94 according to the data I keep. Therefore, wherever this $39 figure appears, it is inaccurate, probably due to the symbol change. For reference purposes, as of 5/02/99, 52 week high $50.30 on 4/6/99 52 week low $12.94 on 10/8/98 Friday close $39.00 down $2.00 138 Million shares outstanding $5.4 Billion market capitalization Short Interest has doubled April vs March but is still only around 1% of the float and no more than 1.5 days volume. We are seeing a great deal of negativity in the semi sector and RadarView has taken a very positive stance. Whether we are correct or not remains to be seen but ASML will transcend either scenario, in our opinion. So for those of us here, that travel elsewhere and came across the $39.00 figure, please be aware of the information here and get back to any thread and inform them. andrew
