My 2cents: Following statement by Brad: biz.yahoo.com CEO Brad Mattson of Mattson Technology (Nasdaq: MTSN - news) believes that the increasing cost of fabs is a major change to be dealt with in the marketplace. ``The real major change that's going on now is a shift from being only technically-driven, which was the trend for the last 10 to 20 years, to being technology -- and productivity- driven. The trend is changing because the cost of new fabs is getting incredibly expensive.' Cost of ownership and cost of product is main focus. Apart from that I have learned paying shortterm taxes is really bad. Hoping for long term appreciation. Let me just say due to short term focus I have given up more than 1/2mil profit!! Do your math
