Well, VECO really got hammered Friday. Given that
they are a equipment provider to both the semiconductor
and the disk drive industry, the volitile nature of
this stock shouldn't be all that surprising. With the
DD industry in a real funk, one is not surprised to
hear about order delays from some of their biggest customers. The company is reasonably well respected, and while I don't own stock in it, I expect it to rebound as the disk drive industry recovers. Not a
bad idea to get in, especially at the low price, if you don't mind the volitility. (It was as high as $72
about three months ago.
