Impristine, There's nothing wrong with "supporting the stock price" with factual information while "supplying an incredible product and service to the customer". Companies both large and small hype their products through public relation and advertising media all the time. The point I was trying to make was that Cymer appears to have its wrists and ankles tied when it comes to tooting its own horn because of very strict non-disclosure documentation. My comment as well was it would be in Cymer's best interests to modify those agreements to allow for more flexibility as to what Cymer can disclose. Right now it appears that Cymer's stepper customers are calling most if not ALL the shots, which leaves CYMI's shareholders with not too many facts as to what is going on. Management more than anyone else wants to see the stock price rise unabated because of its current holdings and future stock options. It's about "show me the money!!" and not only about running an efficient and profitable operation. You also raised the very interesting question as to "who holds the GOLD in this situation"? Cymer's technology and support, of course. Without it stepper firms would have to rely on inferior technology. Agree??? Long on Cymer, Allan
