Food for thought new sec rule after reading my forbes magazine 10/30/2000, two articles made me think of Mattson and a few other small tech investments. On page 146 the new sec "fair disclosure" (FD) regulation goes into effect. "It forbids companies from dropping hints to analysts about where earnings are going." FD "requires companies releasing material information to do so publicly - via press releases or registering the data with the SEC." Page 276 shows a solution one company has implemented "Turek [of M-Wave] issues press releases every two weeks and hosts conference calls on the web." With analysts' (my spelling not Ian's) surprise comments diminished, perhaps only real public data will move a stock; and, via the web, the data should be available consistently. I'd prefer weekly sales reports and bookings! chuck
