The reason is that Roth mislead us in the last quarter. They were not forthcoming about the loans to their customers so why believe them now. Watch it Roth, your nose is growing!!!

"Looking forward to 2001, we continue to expect the overall market to grow in excess of 20 per cent," said chief executive John Roth. "Given our strong market position and leadership in high-performance Internet solutions, we continue to expect to grow significantly faster than the market, with anticipated growth in revenues and earnings per share from operations in the 30 to 35 per cent range," Roth said. What CEO in his right mind would mislead his investors? Not only would he lose their confidence, he'd have the SEC down his throat and shareholder lawsuits up the wazoo. On the other hand, what does an analyst have to lose by throwing out careless remarks that question a company's projections? Most are afflicted with selective Alzheimer's and if questioned a few months later would most likely look at you as if you'd lost your marbles. "But you said. . ." "No, no. You got it all wrong. What I really meant was. . ." The deeper truth is that some CEOs do mislead and each has to be looked at individually. Does Roth have a history of misleading? If not then the analysts should be discounted. Pat
