<<Wow. The bad news just keeps coming. SEG SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY ANN 6/98 1.529 1.627 -6.0% QNTM QUANTUM CORPORATION ANN 3/99 3.241 3.252 -0.3% >> Vanni, There's no point in posting earnings estimate revisions that obviously come in from analysts who are laggards. If they were on top of things their revisions would be out just after fundamental news along with everyone else. And what's so bad about .3% which is .003?

Re: rude posters: The North Koreans, and later, the North Vietnamese discovered that the most effective form of torture was social isolation. Not allowing a prisoner to talk to anyone was the quickest way to reduce him to complete submission. This works for controlling small children's behavior also. When a child is not obeying the social rules, you simply remove him from the group. If this is done consistently and emmediately, it is very effective at changing anti-social behavior. The same methods can be applied to any group, including SI threads. I keep a (very) short list of names of rude posters. I read all posts on the threads of stocks I own or am considering buying, except theirs. I skip over their posts, and I never reply, no matter what they post. You must understand that, for some people, getting a response, even an angry response, is exactly what they want.
