Why should ATT buy CS? It doesn't make sense. ATT just let go of LU which is MUCH MUCH valuable than CS.IMHO. NYNEX? Why? Is CS going to help NYNEX in its core bussiness? Regards,

TGW your reply is only half complete re analyst. The good analyst can make his clients some money. O K with that, but the better more renowned analyst get their clients to make money while the backroom of the agency is in par with the stratigies that make the agency the REAL MONEY. It ain't made doing our stock transactions my friends. The back room can make 2 for every 1 made on the stock price movement. We as investors are the outlet that creates the flow (up and down) in stock price so these hedges are/can be carried out. And beyond that CS is still good upside from here---- may start moving today as yesterday the rush to buy was in the stock at midevening but subsided.

I'd seriously question any ex-NYNEX executive's credibility as a manager or visionary. The company is/was the worst run of the Baby Bell's - absolute disaster. At one time, a Vice Chairman of Bell Atlantic mentioned at a dinner conversation that their solution for fixing NYNEX was to fire everyone. Actually, he only meant in half in jest. One must realize that most cases, senior executives take over failing firms coz. they've been promised huge returns if they can turn the company around. They do very little DD in checking up the status of the business or how fixable it is. Take for example that the guy who joined to run MobileMedia last year and quit in 6 months. He ran Tampbrands. Went from consumer marketing to paging. Didn't know anything about it. Quit/was fired in 6 months - paid $1 million to leave. He went there coz. they promised him the world if he could turn the company around. Get my drift about Reed? If he had any significant success at NYNEX, then I'd have some faith in his capabilities. Since he hasn't, there's not much of a gaurantee that he will be able to do much as CS.
