What's going on today? CYMI should be surging rather than retrenching. This constant chatter about potential competition would probably un-nerve me also if I were a potential investor. However, in the long run, the truth will out. Use these opportunities to buy more! Regards, Knip

Regarding companies that are using Coherent lasers for production, Micron is now installing Coherent lasers on their steppers. It is interesting that MU has apparently chosen the Coherent product for future stepper purchases since; (1) DRAMs typically have the smallest feature sizes of all chips (although they tend to have many fewer layers than other chips), and; (2) MU has one of the lowest costs and highest efficiencies of all chip manufacturers. Other than companies that might be buying 193 nm steppers from SVGI, of which there probably aren't many, I do not know of any other semi manufacturers that have switched to Coherent lasers.

We're likely to see a sharp Santa Claus rally in CYMI followed by a significant upward "January effect". The patterns are in place and the stuck short interest had to reluctantly increase its position in November to keep it from blowing the roof clean off. 11/99 1,325,917 10/99 1,240,002 09/99 1,265,188 08/99 1,643,321 07/99 1,535,148 06/99 1,443,625 05/99 1,430,125 04/99 1,587,089 03/99 1,572,613 02/99 2,059,550 01/99 1,964,402 12/98 2,089,290 The pressure is building tremendously - so I wouldn't be fooled by the recent sideward movement. It is shaping up into the the calm before the upward stampede. The fundamental conditions are fabulous. Good Luck To Each And All Curly ~~~~~~~^^ [6.6] .....> [_]
