Aren't you receiving notices for stocks that you've owned over the past year? On HLIT, I believe there are two law suits: < On June 28, 2000, a securities class action captioned Smith v. Harmonic Inc., Et. Al., Civil Action No. C-00-2287-PJH was filed against Harmonic and several of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Additional actions containing similar allegations have since been filed. These complaints allege violations of the federal securities laws, specifically Section 10 (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seek unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of Harmonic common stock during the period from March 27, 2000 through June 26, 2000. The various actions have not yet been consolidated and no trial date has been scheduled. On June 29, 2000, a securities class action captioned Krim v. Harmonic Inc., Et. Al., Civil Action No. CV 790816 was filed against Harmonic and several of its officers and directors in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara. The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws, specifically Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who acquired Harmonic common stock pursuant to a Form S-4 Registration Statement filed March 23, 2000, concerning a transaction completed on May 3, 2000. On July 26, 2000, the action was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. No trial date has been scheduled.> I do not own HLIT at this time. My post just listed my observations on this stock. I do respect your decision to stay on the sidelines on a stock/situation that you are not comfortable with. Sergio
