Thanks Luigi.
EMC has a different institutional base than MCDT. Growth/Momentum accounts for 44.4% of EMC's institutional base with 2.2 billion shares outstanding while Growth/Momentum accounts for 76.4% of MCDT's institutional base with only 12.5 million shares in the float and 110M shares outstanding. We'll see how it plays out. There is also the question of how the overall market will react to Cisco's earnings report and forward-looking guidance tomorrow. My sense is that a high-end switch maker like McData ($5.2B) will eventually have similar institutional ownership as a mid-range switch maker like Brocade ($18.8B) as the valuation gap narrows.

International This style refers to those money managers investing the majority of their equity assets in stocks of companies domiciled outside of North America. In most cases, the North American portion of the portfolio is either too small or does not exist, precluding The Carson Group from determining an accurate investment style based on the fundamentals of these companies. For "Global" investors which have more significant North American holdings, a specific style may be given which will apply primarily to the North American portion of the portfolio.
