Emc Corp (Emc; $64 1/16; B-1-1-9)
1999E $1.07; 2000E $1.40

o EMC reported Q3 results of $0.29 per share today. Our estimate was $0.27.

o We believe that both the quarter and outlook were very good.

o We think the shares are weak today because EMC couldn't be entirely clear
on the Data General acquisition and its impact on the revenue line.

o We expect more clarification on this issue over the next month or so.
Company is saying however that the Data General transaction should be accretive
next year.

o Revenue was up 33% versus our 34% estimate, with the difference occurring
in a subsidiary.

o The gross margin came in at 57.5%, higher than we were looking for.

o The guidance was positive.

o Company said they see no Y2K problems.

o Demand from the Internet space is also strong.

o EMC said next year they expect to grow in the mid 30% range in revenue,
and perhaps even somewhat faster in earnings. We believe this is good news.

o We do not see any fundamental problems with EMC and reiterate our Buy/Buy
rating, particularly on weakness.
