<<<AVNT/Amerindo. I thought that the Amerindo tech mutual fund was about $40-45mm. Even if they only hold 10 stocks, equally weighted, thier AVNT position would only be 180k shares. Hardly enough to tank the stock. What am I missing?>>> You're missing their 13D filed on 6/20/97 in which they claimed.... The following table sets forth for each of the Reporting Persons and for each Other Named Individual the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by such person as of June 13, 1997, and the percentage which such shares constitute of the total number of shares outstanding, as reflected on the Issuer's Form 10Q for the Quarter ended March 31, 1997, unless based on more recent information obtained directly from the Issuer (with beneficial ownership determined as set forth in Rule 13D-3 under the Exchange Act, but disclaimed as set forth in the footnote): NAME NO. OF SHARES (1) PERCENT OF CLASS ---- ------------- ---------------- Amerindo 5,015,400 19.59% Amerindo Panama 1,079,503 4.22% Plan 4,500 0.02% Retirement Benefits Scheme 10,000 0.04% Alberto W.

Stableford 10,000 0.04% Renata Le Port 10,000 0.04% I read PeterC's note and can't believe that they were able to dump 6M shares in that time frame. Can anyone explain where those 6M shares went? Steve Austin? Jonathan
