Glenn, His firm Wit Soundview did. The part I didn't know was about the $5.2 million signing bonus.

RE: EMC

Sudden price target increase is convenient for Focus 1 selection, but only gives the stock room to $87.50 before its in downgrade territory. Historically, ML used to count on a 10% Focus 1 gap up. The analyst should point out that INTC and ORCL are rated Accumulate, or one notch below EMC and other Buy-rated stocks like Amazon and Pets.com.

ML today:

"We reiterate our Buy rating with a $105 price objective, which is 105X our 2001 estimate. The PEG ratio is a bit over 2X on next year’s earnings, expensive but less than other franchise names such as Intel and Oracle." [emphasis added]

ML 5 days ago:

"We reiterate our Buy rating with a $100 price objective, which is 100X our 2001 estimate. The PEG ratio is a bit over 2X on next year’s earnings, expensive but less than other franchise names such as Intel, Oracle, and Cisco."
