One day things are seemingly rosy, and the next day the company is no longer turning a profit. Not good... not good at all. How do you repair investor confidence after such an ordeal? And then there was this from earlier today: ----------------------------biz.yahoo.com Law Offices Of Charles J. Piven, P.A. Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Broadcom Corporation BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2001--Law Offices Of Charles J. Piven, P.A. advised investors today that on March 6, 2001, it filed a class-action lawsuit charging Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM - news) with securities fraud in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. SACV01-279 GLT (ANx). The suit seeks damages for violations of federal securities laws on behalf of all investors who bought Broadcom Corporation common stock between July 31, 2000 through February 27, 2001 (the ``Class Period''). The complaint charges Broadcom and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants made positive but false statements about Broadcom's results and business, while concealing material adverse information about agreements with certain companies it acquired, which essentially resulted in Broadcom buying its own revenues. As a result, Broadcom's stock traded at artificially inflated levels, permitting the three individual defendants to sell $45.8 million worth of Broadcom stock. On 2/27/01, The Wall Street Journal published an article on Broadcom entitled ``Warrant Deals Raise Concerns on Broadcom,'' in which analysts and accounting experts questioned the ``legitimacy'' of the transactions and termed the agreements ``troubling.'' In reaction, Broadcom's stock fell 16% to $53, before closing at $53.625 on 2/27/01, and fell to $49.25 on 2/28/01. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Broadcom common stock during the Class Period (the ``Class'').
