Lots of actions in between.

OT From Briefing.com: 12:03 ET Cymer rumor (31.72 -1.43) We are hearing that today's weakness in CYMI can be attributed in part to a rumor that IBM is having some difficulty transitioning to next-generation 0.09 micron technology from 0.13 (CYMI sells the lasers that go into this equipment); in addition, we are also hearing a rumor that CYMI is seeing cancellations and pushouts that may require them to cut their forecast for 2003, although we can't confirm this.
