To all, we'll know Friday how much of the decline has been a result of tax loss selling. If Friday is down, Rarebird may be right. If Friday is up $1 or more, maybe that will be evidence that all would-be sellers have already appeared. My own guess is for up $1.25. As for later in the month, 1/15=$21 and 1/31=$25. Good luck to all of us longs!

The AT&T of Japan needs equipment.......................................... nikkei.co.jp NTT President Outlines Shift To Multimedia Services TOKYO (Nikkei)-Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. plans a thorough overhaul of its business practices, including capital investment and personnel and wages, President Junichiro Miyazu told The Nihon Keizai Shimbun. The telecom giant will shift away from a focus on infrastructure toward emphasis on providing multimedia services, Miyazu said, citing an industry-wide shift in that direction. Basic telephone service no longer provides sustained profit, Miyazu explained, so NTT must generate demand for multimedia services. The world is already seeing a major shift away from ordinary phone service toward the Internet and similar activity, and NTT is behind the curve in these areas, its president stated. A historic makeover of NTT is to be completed by July 1999, when it will be split into two regional telecom providers and one long-distance carrier, all under a holding company. "After the overhaul we will be offering new products, so the nature of the company must change," Miyazu said, calling the transformation into an information distributor a matter of corporate survival. Miyazu expressed reservations about recent consolidations in the telecom industry. "We want to invest money and train our people first. I believe this will prove more favorable in the long run."
