My CAPS score is taking a beating on this one, but what the system doesn't know is that I bought these shares back in the late 90's. So in reality, I'm up about 300% on them (and actually sold 1/2 my holdings at the telecom bubble high, for ~1,000%, in a move that allowed me to go zero debt).
COHR is the biggest and best at what they do. They're up against competition that will slash prices to the bone, but that's why they make zero margins while COHR's are pretty decent (considering I'm sure they often have to deep discount, to hold market share in some areas).

"Coherent Inc, a small-cap growth company in the technology sector, is expected to significantly outperform the market over the next six months with less than average risk."
Two stars? Is this just flying under CAPS community radar? I've watched my score on COHR improve by 45% over the past year, climbing steadily and agressively against the market since last July as they've charged back from the downturn (my RL portfolio score is currently +32.26% on COHR). Where is everyone?

IRL portfolio score for COHR is now at 113% (one of 3 @ >100%). Still only 2 stars?!? I feel like I'm in a secret club...
