Steven, (and Robert Sheldon) i received more than a few PM?s today. I think that it would be a good idea if i added a few things to my last post to clarify it. I am sorry that my post caused confusion. If anyone still has questions after reading this post, please send me a PM and i will answer your questions as best as i can. First let me reiterate that my post to Robert Sheldon (never to be confused with Robert S) began with You've been an excellent contributor for so long that i am very that surprised would repost that kind of foolishness. Maybe you should have a cup of coffee and read it again. I respect Robert to the utmost degree. He has done a great deal of research on Global Crossing and freely shared it with this thread. I am very thankful for the work that he has done and i hope that he will continue to share his insights in the future. All of my objections were directed to the author of a post that grew from a misinterpretation of a few words. It was not my intention to discredit Robert Sheldon. I believe that he is one of the posters that has a great understanding of Global Crossing Ltd. and his post are "must read" for all investors in the company. Steven, I agree with you 100% that Hutch will open a number of doors for Global Crossing. 2000 is going to be a big year and 2001 should be even better. My original post was intended as a rejection that there would be an announcement relating to Global Crossing and Vodaphone on Jan 12th. In the past, we have been able to keep SI free form these rumours (there is atleast one every week). I hope that we will be able to do that in the future. Note: there were several great links posted on this thread in the last couple of weeks. Thanks to all the posters. I was pleased to see that not only was GBLX on several "Best Stocks for 2000" list, but that the authors understood the company. (what was it, like 5 months ago that "Global Crossing is a start up whose only asset is one cable under the Atlantic.) WOW: it growed up fast. best wishes, Teddy
