I wouldn't get to worked up over the market right now. Everyone should just take a deep breath and enjoy the entertainment. I was cracking up at home watching the tape. For some sick reason I wanted to see the DOW shut down for the day after being halted. This is a day to remember. What will happen tomorrow and the day after? Who knows. All I know is CYMI has been beaten up REAL BAD over the last two months so it's not taking the brunt of the storm. Look at poor OXFORD (?) moving down 47 points to 25 or so with 50,000,000 shares traded - YIKES!! Not a good day for bad earnings huh? Intel's at 75!! DELL was down as much as 20 points!! Yee Hawwww. My feeling is CYMI has fallen 50% from the high and that's usually about as far as they fall with earning disappointments or market pressure etc.. I feel pretty comfortable with CYMI right now. It could go lower but how much? The downside risk has been significantly reduced since Sep. I'm going to just enjoy the show and hope to pick up some more lower if I can. There's a lot of money waiting for the bottom! Aloha

Comic Relief: "It could have been worse" (Long joke, hang in there) A very pessimistic guy over the years develops a patent answer for any and all bad news he hears: "it could have been worse." Whatever it happens to be, he thinks "it could have been worse." Earthquake in Italy, hunger in N. Korea, Cymer stock kicked in the teeth -- "it could have been worse." So one day, his friends plot to tell him something so bad, so obviously tragic, that he can't snap back with his knee-jerk "it could have been worse" -- because it will be "the worst." They find him in the neighborhood bar the next day and start to reel him in: "So, John, did you hear what happened to your neighbor, Bill?" "No." "Well, he came home early from work -- having lost a ton in the market that day and feeling like hell :( -- only to find his wife in bed with his best fried. He blew a fuse, shot his friend, strangled his wife and killed himself." "Wow, just when think you know somebody..." At this point, his friends start to chuckle deep down inside (remember Thursday night?) because he didn't snap back with his usual "it could have been worse." But, of course, after a few minutes, he says, "but if you really think about it, it could have been worse." His friends can't understand his thinking (remember Friday?). They say, "but John, how could it possibly have been worse! His wife was cheating on him with his best friend, he killed probably the two people closest to him, and he killed himself. How the $%#@ could it have been worse?" "Well, it could have happened the day before yesterday, when I was there visiting his wife!"
