Is it possible he may have invested in the converts? Institutions usually prefer convertible bonds. As to e-mailing Mr. Soros; I don't know whether that is a good idea. It may be percieved as an act of desperation. In any event whatever you may say in your e-mail they already knew months before you did. I was hoping if he had a huge position and got out of the stock, the pressure would be relieved and the stock would rally. Just speculation on my part. Orhan

Bruce, Could you please explain what you mean with "I find it difficult to believe that he would need Cymer funds to cover." I don't know whether you know; it is public knowledge that Soros have lost 1-2 Billion on this drop. I suggested that if he indeed owns a large block of stock, he may have liquidated or attempted to do so and this may have put pressure on the stock. If he is out of the stock, this may be good news as the block overhanging the market will have been eliminated. If I knew that was the case,having known the reason for the weakness in the stock, I would jump in. But this is all speculation, Orhan
