hi R.V.M. nice site. thanks. "In many respects, a culture of gamesmanship has taken root in the financial community making it difficult to tell salesmanship from honest advice. A lot of analysts we see on television recommending stocks work for firms that have business relationships with the same companies these analysts cover. And some of these analysts' paychecks are typically tied to the performance of their employers. One can only imagine how unpopular an analyst would be who downgrades his firm's best client. With all the financial information, advertisements, and advice out there, investors must be aware that not all of it comes without strings attached." SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt, at Boston College's Finance Conference 2000: "The New Economy," 3/6/00 oh yes, levitt's been talking this up for over a year now and what has he done about it? he's slapped the hands of several smalltime websites hocking the "stock of the day" and making them add disclosures to their site. BFD! she
