<<Gerald, believe me, there are very few institutional investors who want to be tarred and feathered with a stock "as featured in Barron's L. Rublin column, and the WSJ's talk of the street column" not to mention CNBC etc.>>
The first Rublin article was neutral, and the second one, which echoed the groundbreaking Kernan-Faber CNBC calculation 1/.07 = 14.29, was stupidly off the mark. The WSJ article didn't talk about Zitel at all. It simply listed it in a group of y2k stocks whose PE's, based on current 12 month trailing earnings, are rather high. Of course such a PE has no relevance to the y2k arena at this time. Institutional investors will need to be of exceptionally low investment acumen to be persuaded by such arguments.
<<the shady goings-on of Mssrs Stewart, Emerald, the ex-Gartner group chap, Mr. R. Khan, e tutte quelle>>
Can you be specific about what these shady dealings are? And who is Khan? Never heard of him.
