Raven You "think of CY as driving down the freeway at 65 on cruise, everything is fine, then for no reason your steering and brakes go out at the same time and you can't get the cruise control off." NO PROBLEM if the road stays straight and never ends until your gas is gone. Leave this dog to your heirs.

Actualy I have been in the stock since the fall of 95' I got trapped and decided to keep it and do penance by using it as a learning experience. It is only a very small part of my portfolio so It does not bother me as much that it is back down. I used to surf the BB on AOL , Motley fool and the Investors net to discuss the vageries of this company. It is very interesting how little we, the small stock holders , really seem to know about TJ and the CO strategic plan. I got turned on to MM from CNBC and decided to try out his calls over a year ago when I found out that CY was one of his picks. I do not really understand how he became such a respected analyist but that is a whole other subject. From my read, until the whole memory pricing really recovers or CY develops a product line that has some real profit in it we will just wait and see. I would probably have sold at 16 or 17 but I was on vacation in Europe in Sept and just over looked it. When I left in late Aug the relative strength was climbing and the expectations were better from several fronts. Lots of people I have met on various boards have day traded the stock and seem to have done OK. It seems to stay in trading ranges for long periods. Also, there seems to be lots of very strange options action at times. Short sellers have really done well with this one. What other stocks do you like. ChuckB
