Cowen's thesis is based upon its belief that enterprise information technology budgets are being readjusted for calendar 1999. Cowen surveyed 22 companies and saw over one-third of the 11 financial services companies responding to its survey changing IT investment projections, which isn't surprising given job cutbacks in money center banks and investment-related financial services companies.

I am amazed at how much negativity was injected into the marketplace by the Cowen announcement downgrading Cisco - particularly when I read that this was based on ONLY 3 or 4 companies out of 11 who responded out of 22 financial services companies who were "selected" for this "survey".

To base conclusions on such a small sample is ludicrous.

The market is overreacting to the slightest hint of negativity. What might happen with a little positive news? Nothing? or ??
