<How the heck did experienced managers get sucked into some of these deals? As I commented at the time, it was as if all parties involved were part of a "retirement" conspiracy, ready to kiss off next year (or even Q3 '00) and head for the Caribbean.>

ha ha.... I'm sure that was part of it. This spring reminds me [in hindsight] of some realestate brokers I onced used to buy distressed property here in Phoenix in the early 90's... "close 'em!" was the battle cry.

Tune in next time for: "Investment bankers on the loose" or "Glen Gary, Glen Ross goes Wall Street".

Remember Chemdex, the only short that I ever put into a T/FIF portfolio (not counting MZ's picks)? I chickened out after a quick profit, somewhere in the neighborhood of $100/share?

It went to 243 during the "days of frenzy".

Now VNTR, it closed last Friday at 15. From 243 to 15 in about three months. That would be pain.
