Re: Their emphasis on increased R&D during down-turns sounds like the strategy that has made Applied Materials a leader for the past 30 years. If that is Cymer's plan, why they will waste $50m to buy back stock? What if there is a TURE downturn which may last more than 4 quarters? By the way, even with $1 billion in the bank, AMAT still issue bond to rasie capital. I fail to see the similarity between two. regards derek
