RE:CYMI: Major Broker increased estimate for fiscal year ending 12/97 from $0.76 to $0.79 on 10/24/97
Crazy! Cymer made $0.62 in the first nine months of '97. This broker says they will make $0.17 in Q4. I really don't think so.

I am unsure about interest in '98.
Please help me correct any errors,
