To: Dieter Koerner From: fb "D", there are longs on this thread & shorts...plus a lot of moles!! Being here in Germany has been very interesting...for example, the other day on a European TV program about stocks & telecom & computer related stocks a British fellow, (can't remember his name) was being interviewed about his new about to be released book "Why Bill Gates Must Be Stopped". Very interesting. Seems there is a European version of the U.S. Justice Dept. which has already lined up against Microsoft for all the same reasons that the U.S. Justice Dept has, and he aslo said that next week Japan will also come forward with a similar move. He layed out why if Gates & Microsoft are allowed to continue for the next few years as they have been going, there will be world wide financial & political repurcussions. He cited the following example: "imagine ten years from now going out to purchase a car & altho you may purchase many different exteriors...all cars would have the very same engine & transmission!!" And, he went on and on in this way. Also, from what I can determine over here, the Germans are very pro NOVL and Anti Microsoft...(the technical reasons for which as you well know are way over my head. One fellow I spoke to seemed to think that a Warren Buffet type would be holding onto NOVL with the idea of seeing over $100/share in a few years. Of course, for the "traders" & the "moles" this would have no interest what-so-ever. I do notice,however, the almost total absence of talk on this thread lately! What does that tell us? see you, fb
