I saw that too. My thoughts are -CYMI is a supplier to equipment suppliers -AMAT is an equipment supplier ( not a subsystem supplier) -AMAT began to enter the litho side of front end thru ORBOT -AMAT litho acquisition rumors persist -It would be brilliant tactic to a strategy of acquiring a stepper company -I don't see how the industry would allow AMAT to buy both CYMI and a stepper company, but I don't know how it would be prevented since the stepper players are Int'l (if it was all US then antitrust would be an issue). Still pondering, TI2
