Cohen Watcher from 2000 sec.gov Author: at Internet Date: 04/23/2000 5:31 PM Normal TO: RULE-COMMENTS at 03SEC Subject: Proposed Regulation FD: File No. S7-31-99 ------------------------------- Message Contents I am one of those "out of sync with the real world" individual investors that the analysts want to keep further out of the financial information loop by promoting this new regulation. I am appalled (but not surprised) that the SIA is lobbying so heavily to continue, if not heighten, the secret flow of information from publicly-traded companies to analysts. Especially when they base their arguments on ideas like "analysts make the market less volatile". What about the reaction to Abby Joseph Cohen's remarks just a few weeks ago? That wasn't volatilty??? Bah. The analysts and the stock brokerages they represent are just peeved because their commissions are down due to discount investing and the dawning awareness of the masses (like me) that they aren't nearly as successful in making money for their clients as we were once led to believe. Sour grapes on their part. Don't punish me because their profit margins aren't high enough. This country and our capitalistic system is based on freedom of information...let freedom ring! Mona Calvert pbs.org Seeming conflicts, new standards MARIA BARTIROMO: Give us your quick picks. What are the stocks to own for the week ahead? MARY MEEKER: Maria, I thought you might ask that question. TERENCE SMITH: On CNBC's "Market Week," anchor Maria Bartiromo interviewed top Internet analyst Mary Meeker from Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. MARY MEEKER: The three focus names that Mark and I would focus on would be Yahoo!, Amazon, and Ebay. TERENCE SMITH: She went on to mention others, including an Internet stock, Avenue A. What neither the host nor guest discussed was the fact that Morgan Stanley had handled public offerings for three of the four companies. capitalstool.com CApital Stool slings the shit where it needs too - Mother Abby and her LIES - everyone should write ted david and complain what poor reporters and snake oil salesmen they all are (and tell him ricky bobby sounds better - hehe) Another thing Dr. Stool discovered is that she has a self-serving way of shading her statements so as not to call attention to her horrendous record, while at the same time dropping subtle reminders of the few things she was right about. She also twists the record to make it appear that she was right, while being dead wrong. She would have been correct in thinking that no one would notice, until Dr. Stool came along.
