There is a worthwhile article in today's NY Times concerning this whole issue of 'information' getting into the hands of the big guys before the general public. The article is titled 'In search of a democratic grapevine' and is in the business section. Anyone interested can access the Times for free via the web, although registration might be required. This Mason story is a perfect example of the deck being stacked against the public, someone outlined yesterday how the stock plummeted once he said his piece at ML. Arthur Levitt Jr. (SEC chairman) is quoted in the article and would like to see changes in how information (conference calls) is disseminated by large corporations (translation - insiders trade on it before we do). There should be no reason that CPQ or any other company could not provide information to all. What about a real audio feed off their website for example? In the near future, when cable/ADSL is more widespread, what about a Mason video feed of annoucements off their web site? John
