Hg........re exds smoke and mirrors...?? ANALYST OWNS UP TO BAD TECH TIP By JESSICA SOMMAR June 20, 2001 -- Somebody check to see if Hell has frozen over. Jeffrey Camp, No. 1-ranked internet analyst for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter admitted he was wrong and apologized for touting a tech stock that plunged 94 percent in one year. Camp, a veteran analyst, began a report discouraging investors from buying Web site manager and former high-flyer Exodus Communications by saying "it was time to own up" to failures. "If [the stock] is improving, surely we are downgrading the shares at the bottom, but if it is deteriorating, better late than never," Camp said. The mea culpa by Camp, ranked as the top internet infrastructure services analyst by Institutional Investors, was first reported yesterday by Bloomberg. Apologies are rare on Wall Street and even rarer from research analysts, who are under scrutiny by Congress and regulators. Camp's report, "Waiting Too Long to Exhale," believes more apologies by Wall Street will help analysts be trusted again. "We [analysts] missed the worst tech downturn in 25 years," Camp said, "and it's time to stand up and take [our] lumps." Re Trusting analysts Again...... Pleeze..!!!! These guys...'Think' way Too Much........ When they Kick Back to the Suffering Masses of investors Then...Maybe...just maybe Otherwise.......... Next....!! T
