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

What a delicious day. I hope I didn't eat to much. SOX and other Tech stocks largely unmoved by the commotion of the precipitous decline in the horribly over-priced S&P/DOW stocks. I did pick up Cisco, Microsoft, but also 8 other firms more reasonably priced.

I'd hate to think the best entry to Cymer is going to be 14 3/4. At that price I'd get the same 'Asia recovery" upside potential in ANZ Bank. Both ANZ and Cymer have virtual monopolies, but ANZ doesn't have to worry about replacement technologies or semiconductor cycles.

Zeev,

Can you translate what the following prospectus means. To me, it
seems that some of the Convertible holders are registering in order to
sell shares. To do so, they'd have to convert at $47 a share to have
the privilege of selling for 14 or 15. Obviously, this is nonsense.
... and my interpretation is wrong.

In advance, thanks.

Ian.
