You are absolutely right. This was printed in NY Times. I have read the article. And the first paragraph was: Sun Microsystems Reports Record Quarterly Earnings By MATT RICHTEL AN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18 — Sun Microsystems announced record quarterly earnings and revenue today, including strong sales in Europe, where other computer makers say they have faltered. I have also searched thru NY TIMES archives for the string "MATT RICHTEL" and have found many articles by the same author. I did not get the text of complete articles because it cost $2.50 for each to get, so I will show just the names of the first 50 articles that have popped up as a result of the search. The expert is very diverse and does not specialize in stock market matters and definitely not in financial analysis for any particular company but rather in commenting on the events that attract a lot of attention from the newspaper readers. Maybe I am wrong but I strongly beleive that the reason the SUNW suddenly attracted attention of the author was not even the Quarterly report but the fluke with the SUNW news being first posted and then withdrawn. Anyway, if anybody really have the patience, below is the list of the article written by MATT RICHTEL for NY Times. My own experience is rather limited to the programming. It may not necessary apply to the newspaper reporting. But what I have seen is that really strong specialists almost always specialize in only one thing. Most of the times it is not only the same computer language for many years but also very specific type of applications. The experts that are good in everything usually are not good enough in something very specific. Not to the point that you can trust their judgement strongly enough to make a business decision including investing your personal money. 1) Lost, and Found, as the Valley Hunts for a Hidden Alley 2) After Redesigning Site, Salon Discovers Online Readers Are Opposed.... 3) Using a Bit of 007 to Keep Spies in Check 4) GAZOONTITE QUITS ONLINE RETAILING 5) BERTELSMANN OPENS SECOND ONLINE FRONT 6) LIMITS ON SALE OF CUSTOMER NAMES 7) MARCONI IN DEAL FOR MARIPOSA 8) FILE-SHARING HERE TO STAY 9) GOVERNMENT SITES LAGGING, SURVEY SAYS? 10) NEW MP3.COM HEARING SET 11) WEB MUSIC BATTLE HEATS UP 12) WRITERS SUE OVER COPYRIGHTS 13) A News Service Caters To Nonprofit Groups 14) Enriching The Wait At the A.T.M. 15) Redesigns Site to Soothe Indignant Readers 16) Finding the Alignment For E-Commerce Impact 17) No Hoop, but Net Is Crucial For This Tournament Champ 18) Entrepreneurial Siblings Take to the Net Again 19) Old-Line Law Firm Links Up to the New Economy 20) Year 2000 Problem; Who Built the Y2K Bug? 21) When, Exactly, Is the Millennium?
