Hi WG - I am worry too, but fwiw, this is not "news". This is really "rumor." Is there any truth to it? I don't know. If it is true, I think NT will suffer more. If it is not, I think the doubters will start looking for excuses. I hope Mr Roth and Mr Dunn don't disappoint the Street, but they can turn it around by not giving the street an excuse. My guess is that the street will hit NT, if she makes her quota, by saying the numbers are backend loaded. However, I hope not. Again, this is rumor, not news. I give as little credance to it as NOK buying LU! Incidentally, a colleague of mine said about another rumor about NT buying LU. A total brainless rumor, if you ask me <g>! best, Bosco

Let me guess, Susan from Reuters... I have been noticing this fairly consistently. Every time the stock price tanks, we get an article from Susan Taylor who apparently works for Reuters Ottawa. Almost always, the article tends to highlight the negative sentiment and seems to tell several reasons for the decline after the fact. This is even true when NT was close to its 52 week highs and occasionally took a breather. I have been trying hard to find out a way to email this person (Susan that is), but to no avail. Is there anyone out there that knows of a way to contact this reporter. I hate it when you get articles that you have no way of responding to directly to the author.
