sure...that post has actually NOTHING to do with the "amount of shares owned by funds". it's nothing more than who either acted as market maker on an execution. those shares could have been bought OR sold by anyone... joe or sally smith could have bought shares through their Fidelity account and it shows as executed by National Financial Services. so what?

B: RED HAT: Red Hat Linux OS included in Intel's global ISP programme OCT 28, 1999, M2 Communications - Intel Corporation is to bundle the Red Hat Linux operating system with the server platforms it markets through its recently created Internet Service Provider programme. Red Hat is a leading developer and provider of open source software solutions. The inclusion of Red Hat Linux in Intel's recently-launched ISP programme offers customers the power of open source software in the demanding Internet server environments in which it performs best. Additionally, users of Red Hat Linux on Intel's Internet server platforms can rely on the comprehensive services and support of both organisations. "The unique demands of ISP and other enterprise server environments are well addressed by the stability and power of open source and the Red Hat Linux operating system," said Colin Tenwick, Vice President and General Manager, Red Hat Europe. "Intel's rapidly growing ISP program and server building blocks, coupled with Red Hat's open source and open source services expertise, makes this a promising collaboration for both companies."

Scott Richardson, general manager of Intel's communications and Internet server division, said: "We anticipate a healthy demand for Intel-based Internet server platforms with the Red Hat Linux-based solution for our growing ISP sales programme.

Re: Comparative volume handled by brokers: Sept vs Aug 1999 Interesting. Top broker handling MRVC was Mayer & Schweitzer (MASH): vol doubled to 3.4 mil in Sept over Aug #2 was NITE: its vol also doubled to 1.7 mil #6 was Van Kasper: its volume quintupled to 953K Volpe Brown increased the highest percentage: from 16K to 289K SHWD which had been active as a buyer, frequently first on the bid, decreased to 580K, a drop of more than 100K. Most brokers roughly doubled their volume.
