"with all these short term lay offs, voluntary vacations, and unscheduled time off, do you still think things will be a whole lot better by the start of the third quarter?" Jerome, When I read your post, it struck me that at every bottom, folks have to be asking that exact question because, by definition, a bottom sucks. Whether this is the bottom or it really happened last month or will happen in 3 months, we will ask that exact question. All I know, is that AG reliquified the economy. There is money on the sidelines for stocks that seem to have given this thing a bottom and Tito is doing YO YO's again. There will be a time when these factors wont get us out of the hole we have built. Maybe that time is close, but I suspect we will get out of this crisis, pretty much intact. Mike

ASML sees 2001 unit sales veering toward 230 LONDON, June 6 (Reuters) - Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASM Lithography NV (NasdaqNM:ASML - news) said on Wednesday it expected full year 2001 unit sales would be towards the bottom end of its previously announced 230-270 range. ``Where we are now is probably at the lower end of that range,'' Chief Financial Officer Peter Wennink told Reuters in an interview. Wennink said a number of customers, who had asked for one or two systems, had pushed back their orders by one quarter. ASML is the world's largest maker of scanners and steppers, machines which map out semiconductor circuitry on silicon wafers.
