...against heedless speculation, delivered by New York Stock Exchange President Keith Funston and others, have had some effect. But the disappointing performance of the growth-stock companies probably did as much as anything to deglamorize them. Many just did not live up to their great (but exaggerated) profit expectations. Transitron, which made its debut last year and quickly scaled to 60. is now down to 24 because 1960's black ink has turned to red. Pale profits in vending machines have sent Vendo down more than 50% from March's peak of 77¼, while the earnings pinch...

Inventive Brains. The hottest growth stocks are those that have the extra ingredient of glamour: a unique or fascinating product, or even the possibility of developing one. Born of an age of rockets and missiles, their companies bear such intriguing names as Itek (information classification), Haloid Xerox (office copying), Transitron (transistors), Ampex (tape recorders).

...options, notably in electronics companies (e.g., Microwave Associates, Itek Corp.), are a cheap and sometimes most effective way to lure talented scientists from big corporations that pay higher salaries. Options have also helped turn scientists, who often care little about costs, into good managers. Since Massachusetts' transistor-making Transitron Corp.
