Forget that the DOW went up 232 points: on a percentage basis it only went up 3.12%. The Nasdaq only went up 2.82%. *CYMER BEAT THE AVERAGES. IS THAT CAPITULATION?* Certainly I'd be thrilled if Cymer did better in a pure dollar amount today. But when I look at some of my other stocks, what do I see. IBM + 3 1/8, 3.17% Better raw number than CYMI by a factor <3, worse performance on a percentage basis. WCOM +1 1/8, 3.35%. Ditto. MCIC ditto, KLIC ditto. We have to stop living in the past. CYMI is now a 23 3/4 stock; Cymer is a maker of DUV bulbs <LOL> with solid fundamentals. We know of no substantial problems related to Cymer's business; we are all painfully aware of a host of problem related to CYMI's treatment in the market. We've lost money and want to recover our lossess quickly. We will recover our losses, albeit not too quickly. Thus my humble advice. Anybody who is looking to make a quick buck (or lots of bucks) through momentum day-trading and position trading should sell their CYMI for a loss and go where the money is moving fast and furious. Anybody who believes in Cymer's story and fundamentals, hang on. When the stock is at 100, you'll be frustrated when it goes up only 3 1/8. rsc

Jeff: I have no INTC...The only stock I ever sold near it's high.. 99 1/4...I thought ..as a novice that 100 is a psyche "BRICKWALL" I wasn't correct as many stocks never even sneezed as they crossed it. This stock I followed, like a bloodhound! Before Cymi, my favorite stocks were Biotechs..by the way I would have done better.,late August and early Sept. is always a b%tc#...howevr, trends remain as always. Why, how did I f%c@k up..? I think it had something to do with not following the Madison Ave truism..."we can move people".. !! The analysts have the power we give them and I am not foolish enough to believe for a second that anything but aggressive money...as opposed to "big money" have any immmediate and "exciting" affect on stock price. I haven't read past the 5:24pm posts (EST) I believe in greed. If this company has presented themselves well, we will do even better. Curlton, NYC, You're posts are very profetic, although sometimes NYC (and we love him) is somewhat cryptic. Well, he should be! There are so many of you that were once convinced that CYMER was a great company. Now, several can only post about "Komatsu" and the incredible employess of "Lambda". I have this to say, Although I fear I have fell into your beckoning call... : Lambda is a great subsidiary of COHR, they do great work. Unproved as yet with DUV as applicable with "Semi-fab"...as with Komatsu... there are no Komatsu lasers that you can verify are in actual production mode. What's the point? The earnings and market share to date are not debatable. What are you debating? Every company could be undermined by a new , improved product. It hasn't happened yet! One day,!***!!, any company could go down! Don't you think you are pushing the "what if" a little too far into the future? I believe the only downside to this stock in the near future is a great slide as last week. I don't expect that, as investment heads have changed. The only other would be the the selling over 35 and 40 as some can't believe that the stock achieved a return to 70 or 80% of it's value. Love ya all a great deal... ;) Bruce
