as part of my +$20-30K in the stock market back in the day - ASTM was a major part of it (probably 20 diff stocks I have), but then everything tanked and well... no longer that much money. sad - closer to $3-5K now. 
I agree with Wodin that nano-tech is going to be a big deal, although it is hard to find companies that are straight up doing it that are publlic, you are more likely to find - as he said, other companies that own or partly own other companies that do it.
Motorola is doing some cool stuff chipwise - not just phone and computer processor - but some... well, basically stealing patents or ideas prior to patent (they go on site, claim to be interested in investing in it, learn about it, then go back and recreate it as fast as possible and don't invest - I know of at least two major cases from two people I know involved on the negative side of it) - it is actually rather rude, but if it drives their stock prices up, fine by me.
And I still maintain that Anoto is doing the coolest stuff in technology right now (http://www.anoto.com) - they aren't on the US exachange though.
