Anatomy of The Analyst Upgrade (where was CNBC?) I found it particularly funny (read as "sad") to see the reporting by CNBC of the sole analyst upgrading JDSU on the promise of a 2002 turn around. First as you can see below WIT is a permaBULL on JDSU having consistently and always had an overall BUY rating on JDSU. Did CNBC report on this? Nope. Faber? nope Kernan? Nope. Maria? Nope, Frank? Nope. Faber even says he is on top of this stuff. I went back as far as I could easily do. Look at the Parade of Analyst coming out BUY BUY BUY . . and the favorite of the savvy Analyst the REITERATES. Then wait look its down from the 60s in January, its JUNE now, TIME TO HOLD…sent out a release to public HOLD, everyone it time to HOLD. Join hands, sing, Kumbyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Look at WR Hambrecht, US Bancorp Piper, and CSFB below. Anyone reading them from January would have to feel like an idiot not to buy the stock. These three are literally YELLING – Buy it, Buy IT, BUY IT. Just look. But where were the analysts of the Analyst at CNBC, unfortunately no where to be found. All I saw CNBC do was act like a vase empty canyon, and echo and echo and echo the Analyst Upgrade.

Anatomy of the UP-grade (WIT SOUNDVIEW) JDSU and a significant portion of the Optical Networking Sector was bounced on Friday, but why? Why when not a single of the companies have stated that a turn around is near, and even the most optimistic Analyst believe the recovery is going to happen in 2002. Well the answer is one loan Analyst, the analyst on JDSU that was one week late for his opinion. That’s right after JDSU had a horrific and terrible warning a week earlier had major analysts put out the obligatory statements on the company. They apparently actually listened to the CC call. On June 15th 2001 US Bancorp Piper, CSFB, SG Cowen, ABN AMRO Merrill Lynch, First Union Securities, Lehman Brothers,Wachovia Sec ALL stated holds or downgrades to hold. Also on June 15th, 2001 WR Hambrecht, Robertson Stephens, Banc of America Securities and JP Morgan H&Q all put out REITERATES of BUYS. Not to be outdone Wit Soundview that still as the JDSU lost over 75% of it Total price, well Wit thought about it, for a full Week, then they decided it was time to put the Public in this stock again. Hey Lucent is a buy at 18 bucks too, gotta be! See how Wit Soundview (read as WIT Capital, the firm created almost exclusively to sell IPO share in 1999-2000) to the Public on 1/22/01 from SuperDuper Buy, to just BUY. Notice the stock closed that day at 59.75, the next day it put in the HIGH for the year 64.95, after that all the people Bought JDSU lost it. So as not to confuse the PUBLIC, WIT Soundview came out with a REITERATION OF BUY IT, just 4 days later on 1/26/01. Well they called the bottom, right the upgrade means we have bottomed? Well only through bad reporting. Wit Soundview has not called the bottom, they only expect that by September, that the downcycle should be over. Implying that—well I take that back, implying nothing like a bounce or a strong recovery or anything like that. Just that it won’t get any worse after September quarter. See what he said--- "Customer activity levels are unsustainably low and in our judgment the company's September-quarter guidance will prove the low," wrote analyst Kevin Slocum. Just what are you saying Kevin, can you add some fluff and mumbo in for me??? Please? "We expect carriers to improve their spending patterns moving through next year. That should drive improving results from the levels that will be reported for the June quarter and predicted for September," he wrote. The economic concerns that exacerbated the slowdown in spending "precipitated an unsustainably low level of equipment investment." Thank you Were there any bright spots in these Analysts?---YES Looking at just JDSU I would have to say that Ryan, Beck Co and Lehman Brothers. Did the best jobs for the public that the could have reasonable done, called it quickly, and called it correctly. Way back in January when the world was upgrading, Lehman rating came out as overall HOLD and for the optical sector they were right—JDSU performed right with the sector. Princeton, New Jersey, Jan. 29 (Bloomberg Data) -- JDS Uniphase Corp. (JDSU US) was reiterated ''market perform'' by analysts Steven D. Levy and Arnab K Chanda at Lehman Brothers. The first Analysts to SEE IT and CALL IT was Ryan, Beck & Co. They also gave the most clear cut signal. Strong BUY to HOLD. Some could fault the Strong Buy rating that they cut, but if you real the times and the sector, that was reasonable enough and correct enough for overall sentiment and general projections. Princeton, New Jersey, Jan. 26 (Bloomberg Data) -- JDS Uniphase Corp. (JDSU US) was downgraded to ''hold'' from ''strong buy'' by analyst Jordan Estra at Ryan, Beck & Co. The market is about expectations, and I fully expect that WIT Soundview will continue to maintain BUY no matter what type of warnings and write off happen. I don’t know why this is, but its my expectation. But hey we just report the news our viewers should know, and because of that we report Analysts, because we think our views should have that information, its valueable to them. So was it any "news" or any wonder that WIT Soundview continued it's BUY rating. Not unless you are a lame-O. Wolff See the parade of buy buy buy buy buy uhhhhh wait HOLD HOLDs below, for the Analyst still pushing the stock lets hope. 06/22/01 Buy Wit SoundView JDS Uniphase upgraded from Buy to Strong Buy at Wit SoundView 06/15/01 Buy WR Hambrecht JDS UNIPHASE CORP Reiterated Strong Buy at WR Hambrecht & Co. 06/15/01 Buy Robertson Stephens JDS UNIPHASE CORP Reiterated Buy at Robertson Stephens 06/15/01 Buy Banc of America Securities JDS UNIPHASE CORP Reiterated Buy at Banc of America Securities 06/15/01 Buy JP Morgan H&Q JDS UNIPHASE CORP Reiterated Buy at JP Morgan H&Q 06/15/01 Hold US Bancorp Piper JDS UNIPHASE CORP Reiterated Neutral at US Bancorp Piper Jaffray 06/15/01 Hold CSFB JDS Uniphase downgraded from Buy to Hold at CSFB 06/15/01 Hold SG Cowen JDS Uniphase downgraded from Buy to Neutral at SG Cowen 06/15/01 Hold ABN AMRO JDS Uniphase downgraded from Add to Hold at ABN AMRO 06/15/01 Hold Merrill Lynch JDS UNIPHASE CORP Maintained Intermediate term Neutral at Merrill Lynch 06/15/01 Hold First Union Securities JDS UNIPHASE CORP Reiterated Market Perform at First Union Securities 06/15/01 Hold Lehman Brothers JDS UNIPHASE CORP Reiterated Market Perform at Lehman Brothers 06/15/01 Hold Wachovia Sec JDS Uniphase downgraded from Buy to Neutral at Wachovia Sec 06/12/01 Hold Credit Lyonnais Sec JDS Uniphase initiated at Credit Lyonnais Sec with a Hold 05/31/01 Buy WR Hambrecht JDS Uniphase Reiterated 'Strong Buy' at WR Hambrecht 05/31/01 Hold CIBC Wrld Mkts JDS Uniphase downgraded from Strong Buy to Hold at CIBC Wrld Mkts 05/30/01 Hold Morgan Stanley DW JDS Uniphase downgraded from Outperform to Neutral at Morgan Stanley 05/01/01 Buy WR Hambrecht JDS Uniphase Reiterated 'Strong Buy' at WR Hambrecht 04/27/01 Buy Corinthian Partners JDS Uniphase Reiterated 'Buy' at Corinthian Partners 04/25/01 Buy Yorkton Securities JDS Uniphase Cut to 'Accumulate' at Yorkton Securities 04/26/01 Buy Dain Rauscher Wessels JDS Uniphase Cut to 'Outperform' at Dain Rauscher Wessels 04/27/01 Hold Sprott Securities JDS Uniphase Cut to 'Market Perform' at Sprott Securities 04/28/01 Hold GMP JDS Uniphase Cut to 'Neutral' at GMP 04/24/01 Buy WR Hambrecht JDS Uniphase Reiterated 'Strong Buy' at WR Hambrecht 04/24/01 Hold Raymond James JDS Uniphase downgraded from Strong Buy to Mkt Perform at Raymond James 04/24/01 Hold McDonald Investments JDS Uniphase Rated New 'Hold' at McDonald Investments 04/20/01 Buy WR Hambrecht JDS Uniphase Raised to 'Strong Buy' at WR Hambrecht 04/20/01 Buy Robertson Stephens JDS Uniphase upgraded from LT Attractive to Buy at Robertson Stephens 04/20/01 Buy Salomon Smith Barney JDS Uniphase Raised to 'Buy' at Salomon Smith Barney 04/20/01 Buy Salomon Smth Brny JDS Uniphase upgraded from Outperform to Buy at Salomon Smth Brny 04/20/01 Buy W.R.

CNBC did a rather decent job on the ABX HM merger today, thank all there for the fair & equal treatment. A bit more in depth reporting of the hedge position(s) might be in the best interest of the investor. btw You know, were exactly the same EU (competitor considered) standards used to kill the GE/HON deal applied to the ABX/HM deal, the ABX/HM deal would also fail muster. As HM & AU(a major competitor)is traded on German exchange, what will they do? Tracking(and reporting on) the ABX/HM Vs the GE/HON merger might well answer some valuable higher questions about the EU of Europe, about how how guys are being screwed by the socialists, about gold, & if there is or is not something underhanded going on in Europe to suppress the price of gold.

Ted, you're a good guy. You obviously have some real journalism experience, as opposed to some of your sidekicks on the air. Just to clarify, my rant last week, was not about covering GE per se..it was the EDITORIALIZING by the on air folks..when you have such an obvious conflict of interest. What ever happened to trying to be like Caesar's wife...trying to be above reproach. GE certainly is a major company and worthy of a fair amount of coverage..but the bias was the ethical journalistic problem I had with it. I am sure Bruno Cohen knows better than this..and hope he at least glances at these boards now and then. You guys need to be straight arrows..particularly with the rising public discontent with conglomerates owning news outlets...think about it. Cheers Ron

Ted, I woke up late today, so said to myself the hell with the markets, I'll take care of the animals and listen to the Dolans on WOR-AM out of NYC while I'm changing our dog's water and breaking out the cat food.... Never expected to hear you call in just before the rate cut! Very interesting back and forth with Ken and Daria. (you need some work on your Bob Grant impersonation though pal! <big grin> Daria stole my thunder, as I was going to mention that David Tice made a fairly funny remark that went something like: There is more talk of bottoms on CNBC than in a proctologist's office.... A couple of years ago, I was telling people there is more talk of tops on CNBC than on the French Riviera! <lol> Yes, the world does not owe us a living, but today's youth is being taught otherwise to a great extent most unfortunately. Over on the Prodigy boards, I mentioned it would be better if the Fed gave us a 1/4 point rate cut rather than the 1/2 point cut almost everyone was screaming for, as it would allow them more wiggle room in the future. Some said the market would be down big time if they only cut a 1/4, but the market held up very well today all things considered.

Morning Ted, just a quick note. Why don't you guys as CNBC stop having guests like Larry Kudlow etc that keep looking up? You are contributing to the big lie laid upon the general public. This isn't meant to be a flame at you, but the guests you guys consistently have on the air must have really sore necks from continiuosly looking up. When was the last time you had Fleck on or any otyher rational person to give an argument as to why we are in deep doo doo in this economy? Why not get someone on there that says once comsumers max out their CC deby our econo is going to get real nasty. Did you know the average house hold is carrying something like 15K in CC balances per month? That comes to close to $400/month in service charges alone. Does this not alarm anyone else?
