Does it mean that the stock will shoot up tomorrow? Wish I knew for sure Andrew. IMHO. IF, the board had replaced him it would have been more positive for the stock, however, the news that he IS going is positive. Now if the got a replacement on the order of a Gersner the stock would soar. Anyway I expect a bounce, I think it is a plus. regards, Ray

>Does it mean that the stock will shoot up tomorrow? Its possible, but it could just as likely be another buying opportunity. Wall Street dislikes uncertainty, and now you have the additional uncertainty of who the CEO is going to be as well as the ongoing uncertainty of what the future product lines and markets will be as SGI enters the Wintel world. Also SGI seems to have squashed any buyout rumors for now. Given the stock action the past couple of days its very difficult to believe any buyout is imminent. A lot depends on the conference call with analysts in the morning. Based on the comments made today at the shareholders meeting the short term seems to be still rather rocky so I doubt if many analysts raise estimates for this year's earnings but what will be interesting is any revisions to estimates for next year. Finally many of the tech stocks, especially computer makers like DELL and SUNW, resumed their downward trends today after yesterday's brief rally. What I found interesting about the meeting today was the number of stockholders who seemed to question the wisdom of having large layoffs now. They seemed to believe this ship needs all the rowers it can keep right now to get back on course. On the other hand there were few objections to replacing the captain. All IMHO of course Art
