Yahoo was wrong, they corrected their error. No big deal. Bob

Clinton, Float = Outstanding Shares - Restricted Shares Restricted shares are shares that currently can't be sold. 11.0 million shares (split adjusted) have been offered to the public since the Company went public in Sept 96. At the initial IPO the following number of shares were restricted (adjusted for split): 0.2 million for 120 days 12.9 million for 180 days 3.5 million up to two years. There were various stock options for a total of 6 million shares (split adjisted) at the time of the IPO. Sales of any stock related to these options were restricted for 180 days following the IPO. I show 28.6million shares outstanding at 9/30/97. Note: It doesn't look like too many to the stock options have been exercised. These options are cheap and will be exercised. This will dilute earnings. It looks like the only "lot" still restricted is the 3.5 million shares shown above. That puts the float at 25.1 Million which is more or less in agreement with the 24.9 million per Yahoo. For more information: Message 2847697 Good trading, Rod

I am becoming discouraged at the amount of disinformation on the web. Oh yes you can throw up your disclaimers but come on, sites like quicken.com should try and get more reliable sources of basic company information. I think someone posted this before, but I will give you some real meat that will really make you laugh at how bad this problem is. BTW, this is the second site that hasn't got a clue as to who Cymer's competitors are. At least the other site, I think it was Zacks, kept Cymer's competitors in the same general industry (although they too were ALL wrong and included customers as competitors). Well, quicken.com reports that Cymer has 27 competitors in the Photographic Equipment & Supplies industry including: - Eastman Kodak - Xerox - Panavision (yeah just waiting for Alien 5 filmed in Cymervision)! - Videonics (these guys make cheap video editing gear)! - Pinnacle Systems (these guys make the $249 Video Director gizmo)! - DENTAL MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS INC (yup Cymer lasers use flouride too). The funniest, or maybe the most dangerous thing is the disclaimer at the bottom of the page which, in addition to the normal crap about no guarantees that the information is accurate, states: The providers of this information and their affiliated companies may have a position in the securities discussed. Yeah, like maybe a short position on Cymer. Na, Conspiracy Theory was just a movie. Anyway, I'm LOL as I'm writing this but in all seriousness we need to email these wackos and get their information right. Have a good evening, Gary.
