Technology Stocks : Cymer (CYMI) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Aloha, I share your view of good times ahead, but we may have to wait until earnings are announced to see it. There is enough fear hanging around semi-related tech companies that we may need a positive demonstration of earnings and a good conference call to establish CYMI as a 'refuge' stock in the industry. I'm not sure at what point this mindchange will occur, but when it does the stock will suddenly be rediscovered and take off. Never underestimate the ability of investment managers to have next to no grasp of the technology behind the tech companies they buy and sell. That's why what may appear logically and intuitively clear on this thread may have to be translated into demonstrated earnings to clear the fog from the minds of Wall St. Baird

maybe the short is more like 22% based on the float being about 18 million shares. If I was short, which I am not, I consider buying calls during the big Tankage...back in December... But most of the Dec. calls went off the books....worthless....So now balls may be hanging out there....I doubt they are holding Feb Calls...I assume they are greedy...and sold Feb Calls... note high Feb. open interest. IMO, Sell them some Jan or Feb Puts...Jam-em up their Keister... IMO, They may be trying to work off their short position.... Yet, being human they will panic if this one breaks strong above 24-25...the Boys...will cover their short feb calls..by buying STOCK....and can you say...Capitulation..... IMO, Keep an eye on Put volume.... IMPRISTINE
