Carter, We have all picked stocks that have tanked. No big deal. On a brighter note, I have daytraded MGX the last three days. Have made some great coin with it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Regards, Al

MGX-t...in the news: Globe says analysts pessimistic on Mosaic recovery Fri 29 Nov 2002 The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Nov. 29, edition that if Mosaic Group had not got mixed up with Enron and WorldCom, chances are it would not be staring insolvency in the face today. The Globe's John Heinzl writes in The Pitch column that Performance Solutions was once one of Mosaic's most promising divisions, earning $44-million on revenue of $322-million in 2001. This year, Mosaic estimates the division will have no earnings on revenue of $139-million. "A major reason why Mosaic finds itself in its current state of financial challenges is the difference between last year's performance and this year's in this specific division," says chief executive officer Marc Byron. "This business has faced the most difficult year filled with a series of circumstances that no one could have predicted." An unnamed analyst says Mr. Byron should have stepped aside and hired a seasoned restructuring expert when the extent of Mosaic's troubles became known. Although Mr. Byron launched a reorganization early this year, it did not go far enough, the analyst says. The Globe says analysts are pessimistic about Mosaic's chances for recovery.
