|  |     Alot of the high tech copmpanies are traded at or near their 52-week
    highs. It's hard to tell (for mw anyway) whether this is a good time to
    get in on it or not. Now, the market is looking up on technology
    stocks. I would think this may be a good time to consider sell if you
    have bought yours awhile ago. Buying? I just can't gather the guts to
    do it now. But, who knows? The ride is not over, yet.

|  |     
    	Good point.
    
    	Just unloaded 2/3 of my S3 holdings, but refuse under any
    circumstances to sell my Motorola. Mike is right, semiconductors are
    at very lofty levels, and taking some money OFF the table is a good
    idea.
    
    	MOT however only derives 30% of its revenues from semis, the rest
    comes from wireless communications which will only grow on a steady
    basis worldwide.
    
    	If "tech" stocks is your bag these days, I'd take a real hard look
    at the biotech stocks again.

| 861.4 | Semi building boom/bust? | ASDG::HORTON | Paving the Info Highway | Fri May 12 1995 12:07 | 15 | 
|  |     Don't know about the rest of you folks, but I've heard about a lot of
    new fabs opening up lately.  Seems the industry is going through a
    classic over-building phase.  Short term this is good for the
    makers of semiconductor process equipment and test equipment
    (e.g., Applied Materials, Lam Research, Tencor, KLA), but when the
    building boom slows, even a little, sales and earnings will suffer.
    
    Overcapacity will also hurt the makers of chips.  With expensive fabs
    to pay for, chip makers will do anything to keep their lines filled.
    I expect to see incredible price competition over the next few years,
    with adverse effects on earnings.
    
    I'm with Mr. Corson: look for the next boom somewhere else.

| 861.5 | If you sell some DEC stock, where would you put it? | HELIX::SONTAKKE |  | Wed Jan 24 1996 12:30 | 11 | 
|  |     Apart from Fidelity (don't like their sales charge), is there any other
    mutual fund which is heavily invested in the semi-conductor industry
    right now and taking a severe beating?
    
    It looks like a right time to get it.
    
    Incidentally, is there a WWW resource to find the top stocks held by
    mutual funds?
    
    Thanks,

    T. Rowe Price Science & Technology.
 | 
| 861.7 |  | HELIX::SONTAKKE |  | Wed Jan 24 1996 15:28 | 13 | 
|  |     But it doesn't seem to have taken real beating.   Assuming the 13%
    drop on Dec 27, 1995 was due to the distribution, it is still close to
    its 52wk high (discounting the distribution).
    
    It can't be heavily invested in semiconductors.  Jun 95 report lists
    14.8% in Semis. 
    
    Same is true with the Invesco Strategic Technology, it han't taken
    ay appreciable hit at all, once again, discounting the distribution.
    
    Thanks,

|  |     
    Even though it has a 3% sales charge, Fidelity's Select Electronics
    Fund is one of my persnal favorites.
    
    It is all semiconductor manufacturers, equipment makers, etc. Lots
    of MU, TI, VLSI, etc. It has also returned over 30% the past five
    years...
    
    	And my bet is the next five also...

	Not if you are looking for real-time data.  It's my understanding
	it's at least 6 weeks if not longer that funds report on what
	their weightings in each sector is "at the time".
	As far as individual holdings the fund's annual report, if not
	semi-annual reports, will list every stock held by the fund "as
	of the date on the report" which again comes out much later
	than the end of the time period reported on.  However for funds
	with low turnover rates it should be pretty accurate.
	You can always call the fund company and request their most recent
	annual or semi-annual report usually[/never] at no cost to you.

|  | The SEC Edgar server (http://www.sec.gov/edgarhp.htm) can help a 
little.  The SEC requires a filing if an investment company (e.g. 
a mutual fund or fund family) holds more than a certain 
percentage (I think 5%) of a company's shares.  
You can look up a company through Edgar and see if the filing is 
in the archives.  I'd tell you the form number, but I don't 
remember what it is.  There's a corresponding filing when the 
holding drops below the threshold.

| 861.11 | Book to bill | 2155::michaud | Jeff Michaud - ObjectBroker | Fri Aug 09 1996 12:12 | 6 | 
|  | 	FWIW, the semiconductor book-to-bill ratio that was due out
	on Wednesday but defered was released yesterday (after market
	close as usual).
	The July number was .85, down from a downward revision of the
	June number of .88.
