If you look at all the announcements CYMI made since they went public in 96, you will find only 15 of them directly from the company and 5 of them are earning reports, another 5 is about about issuance of convertables etc and few about their pullout and explanations for it.

Also they beat estimates in the fallowing order,
-----q396--q496--q197--q297---q397
est--07----09----12----16-----21
act--10----13----15----24-----23
%----42.8--44.4--25----50-----9.5

While they were beating estimates with high margins they didn't make any public release at all.

Why do you think they are silent because there are some bad news.
I think they are only concerned with running their business and they have been quite succesfull in just doing that.

I wish they were more active in promoting the stock but so what.
As long as there are computers (which will have faster cpu's) and there is not a new breakthrough technology there will be demand for CYMI products and this demand is just picking up.

IMHO right now there is a big buying opportunity, but this insane market can take the stock further down making CYMI investors more nervous.

you, unfortunately, like me have the same goats to blame for a miserable end to 1997. namely cymi and apm.
do you think apm has any prospects of regaining profitablity?
after buying in at 33, i sold at 23 so i didn't ride this dog to the bottom. i am wondering if 10 or 11 is the bottom, and if it may be worthwhile to pick it up for long term potential (greater than 12-18 months) for that kind of time frame, apm would have to hit 20 for me to be interested. i suspect that this dog will languish at least till 1999 in the low teens.
any other opinions?
