Worrying about what happens 10-20 years in the future is precisely what a CEO and the Board of Directors should be doing!!! Companies without a vision for their future will get washed aside by the next wave.

As far as the 10 year estimate, maybe their lasers will be around for 20 years. However, once their lasers are not used in the critical layers, they have lost their pricing power and market dominance. Once the market makers and institutional money see the end of the road for a technology company, their exit from this stock will be much greater than it was a few months ago.

Diversity is not a bad thing guys. It will enable the company to continue to sell products well into the next century. Without that diversity there will be an end of the road for Cymer.
