RE<<I find it interesting that you are speculating the quality of your retirement on a company that you think may not survive. In your opinion, how much of a risk is there that MTSN will not survive?>>> I2, My statement was an attempt to make a little fun of myself in light of the current investment climate in the semi-equips. Actually, the MTSN shares are a VERY small (less than 1%) of my retirement accounts, so I do not consider it to be a significant factor in the "quality of my retirement". Will MTSN survive? I am certainly not any authority on how long this downturn will last, but I am trying to buy the semi-equips that have VERY strong balance sheets, with a high level of cash per share and little or no debt (which MTSN qualifies at the current price). Obviously, my purchase is a statement that I like the risk/reward here. I've seen you around these semi-equip threads before, best of luck to you. Eric (EACarl)
