Goldman's Cohen cuts equity exposure, cites shr gains

NEW YORK, March 28 (Reuters) - Abby Joseph Cohen, chair of the Goldman Sachs'
investment policy committee, said Tuesday stock-prices gains compelled her to trim to 65
percent from 70 percent the equity portion of the firm's balanced portfolios.

Reuters reported the Cohen changes, and her setting a Standard & Poor's 500 March 2001
target of 1,625, ahead of the U.S. market open. Equities markets around the world soured
on the news.

The five percent was added to cash, which previously had no allocation. The asset mix now
stands at 65 percent stocks, five percent cash, 27 percent bonds ans three percent commodities.

In the equities-only model portfolio, Cohen now recommends 85 percent stocks, down from 95 percent, and 15 percent cash,
up from five percent.

In a research note, Cohen said her stock-market sector weightings are unchanged -- she still favors financials, pharmaceuticals
and selected basic-material and energy related stocks. Her views also are unchanged regarding the longevity of the current
economic and corporate profit expansion.

It sure looks better than Global Crossing at this point

Re: TDY A friend of mine emailed this to me tonight:

"Do you know something that I can't otherwise find? With 3 month average trading volume / day at $ 242 K, and the fact it traded 1MM shares yesterday and 1.9 MM shares today, float of 15 MM, something is going on here. There is not that much short position in the stock to account for that volume. The only thing that makes sense is the company is in play and not simply being driven up by the 'day traders.' Market inefficiencies don't present like this stock. If you are a pure value investor, then the sector and industry are trading at a TTM P/E of 36. Quick math makes this stock worth ($1.79)(36) = $64/share which would be a double from here."

As for GBLX, I'm ignoring the price action in here in deference to brilliant management, global optical networking and the continued enthusiastic, unwavering support from G. Gilder, who named GBLX his "stock of the year" for 2000.
