Robert,

Re:So what you say is true, but the same argument can be used against investment in almost every tech company that I can think of.

Whatever form IC's take after silicon, I think it is safe to say a company like AMAT stands a high chance to be the leader there also. They have the expertise in physics and engineering to allow them to be malleable, so to speak, to make such a transition. In addition, any company which spends $10B or so on a fab will want a company who has a track record to show, and AMAT has this. CYMI's expertise is lasers, that is it, and as such, I would give it a low probability that they will be a leader in the sector in whatever form IC's take in the post-silicon era. And if there is any chance of my being correct, I do not believe WS will afford the company generous multiples for these very reasons since future revenue streams is all that matters here.

Regards,

Brian
