. . . Buybacks and Splits. . . BUYBACKS of some stocks we follow: BBY [Best Buy] $200 mil WHX [WHX Corp] 1.5 mln [10%] VO [Seagram] 2% LUV [Southwest Airlines] $250 mil LMG.A LMG.B [Liberty Media] 135 mil shares FDX [Federal Express] 15 mil shares [5%] And a bonus: GLR [G&L Realty] is buying 1 mil or a whopping 26% of outstanding. SPLITS HLIT [Harmonic] 2/1 on 10/14 TYC [Tyco] 2/1 10/21 CNXT [Conexant] 2/1 10/29 SEBL [Siebel] 2/1 11/12 JDSU [JDS Uniphase] 2/1 ? INTU [Intuit] 3/1 -9/30 VOD [Vodaphone] 5/1 10/01 NOTE: Harmonic, Conexant, JDS Uniphase are BROADBAND leaders. SEBL and INTU are software makers. And a 5 for 1 split on Vodaphone is very unusual. Remember that the broadbands MUST split, in order to have enough shares to sell large blocks to the fund managers. . .we knew this was coming. . .I didn't expect it to be so fast and dramatic. If you are holding a bunch of internets. . .waiting for the big moves you saw last year. . .you have been sold a bill of goods. And it didn't come from this thread. I don't think we will see near the sort of 500 to 800 percent gains we saw last year in internets. However, I DO believe that such gains are already in progress in the broadband arena. Do not underestimate this group. . . it is much like Yahoo and AOL 2-3 years ago. Patience will reward. . . Rande Is

Not for me. Like I posted, last week was the time to buy, yesterday was the time to sell, at the apex of the rush. The run to 329 on the futures was the result of short covering. That is over for now. Better to wait a few days to give the stocks time to settle, Imo. Sure, there may be some short term traders, but I will wait. Hey, did you see Bill Gates owns 10.1% of PAASF? I did mention SSC a month or so ago, at it's rev. split low. I like silver better than gold right now, and platinum, via the futures or SWC. BLTI moving premarket, watch it. ATMS, one we have been buying since the dump to a buck fifty, gonna really pop...
