Your contrived concern does not match with your zealous focus on a stock you say you don't own. I have never seen a sell yet that didn't have a buy steel riveted to it. Whether the trade is on uptick or downtick is interesting to know, especially on an accumulated running tote basis. This type of information is available in numerable places from credible sources. Why not save yourself the energy and just get it for free from a single bookmarked URL that everyone will know is legit. Particularly since you say you have no position in the stock. I think you're still safe on your way to making big money in CYMI though. You can wait - get in at $55 - and still end up doubling your money. But if you buy, that means someone else sold - always - by definition, which both of us are already quite aware of. Good Luck To Each And All Curly ~~~~~~~^^ [6.6] ......> [_

Now I understand your hypothesis and strategy. When your anonymous data service lists the top ten volume trades as "sells", you sell and rake in the profits. When the anonymous data service says the top ten volume trades are "buys" you buy. This sounds fool proof. If I had access to this data service, I could make some money as well. What data service are you using again? Thanks. I'm selling tomorrow based on today's signal. This is the greatest system I've ever heard of.

<< My logic is that Cymer was pulled up with the rest of the sector only to be draged down latter. >> Acidman, first I do appreciate your posts on the top 10 trades each day. I wish you keep doing that despite the opposing opinions. You are right, people would love you if you say those large blocks are on the ask side. But you got to say what is right and what is the honest truth. Your posts do add a lot of value to this thread. Regarding the recent run-up, I thought the most significant reason was because Cymi said their new product 5010 had received strong approval from the market place. This gave people some good feelings about this company, who is sitting in such a disfavored industry currently, nearly all the news are bad. For months, Cymi indeed follows the SOX industry peers. However, imho, I think CYMI is starting to deferrentiate itself from the rest of the peers and act more like a leader. If there is a positive sign of turning around in the semi equi industry, I bet Cymi will be one of the first to show. Despite the weakness of the general semi equip sector, cymi should be slightly stronger than the rest because they are different. Their equipment help semi makers to reduce cost. They do not have to rely on new fab while many others heavily rely on new fab business. Even for AMAT, i can see some strength technically. People just ignored the bad news recently - the stock went up a couple of days after they warned earnings. When a stock ignores bad news, that to me is a sign of strength and maybe a bottom. Don't know what you take of this. Cymi valuation might be troublesome if the semi industry suffers from a prolonged contraction, such as 2 or 3 years. But with the hope Japan will clean their house soon, this does not apprear to be the case. The world seems to me it's on the edge of another rebounding. Your opinion ? Again, thank you for your posts. Please keep them coming.
