Robert, consolation may be taken from the fact that we are bouncing against a pretty good support here at $16. I fear what might happen if the market suddenly turns south after all those 401k funds are finished pumping up the nifty 50's. All this rally is characterized by less yearly highs than yearly lows on most record breaking days.

I guess it doesnt work that way but it would make more sense to me for Cymi to track Asml than Etec.

Bob,

I would guess that the answer is probably all of the above plus a few.

1. Insider selling: Not necessarily bad, but not good neither.
2. ETEC Warning: Not a sign that capacity builds are happening at 0.18µ or below...
3. INTC 300mm plan missing: Again no source of short term optimism
4. Most buys are technology rather than capacity. Exception Korea and DRAM...
5. At most, 5 new fabs this year (Jim Morgan at last earnings conference call), with another 20 or so fab expansions.

CYMI will give you your doctorate in Patience. :-(

Ian.

Bob: Re: "It seems Cymer began heading south with authority after the ETEC warning. The market may be associating the lack of demand for advanced mask making equipment with a lack of demand for advanced masks and related photolithography equipment.

Or maybe I'm grasping at straws? <G>"

Well, after ETEC's sorry showing today, one can only hope that CYMI does not follow suit <g>. Now that is what I call a crater!
