Lee, Regarding your comment about Burnham and CS First Boston. This whole thing has been a real eye-opener for me. What I'm seeing is the following. With advances in technology, the retail investor (and the day-trader) has been making life difficult for Wall St. For example, Level 2 access, and news on the web was not around some years ago. So, as the retail investor has learned to be more sophisticated, and as the day-traders started to eat Wall Street's lunch (don't let the media's negative sentiment on day-trading fool you) Wall St has learned to adapt and look for new mechanisms to exploit the public. They use the very tools that we think of as our major advantages -- technology and the rapid proliferation of information. That is why I am now wary of analyst upgrades, news releases, and Cramer-style articles. We have more to learn. That is for sure. I just wish the "small guys" could get organized and put in a major educational and "let's help one another" effort, but this seems awfully difficult to do. But I'm still optimistic. Joseph :)
