Interesting idea, and the track record of the leakages of info is AUTOMATICALLY document now! I think I will "ask" them to consider looking at it. Thanks for the pointer...

Dale J., In view of the SEC rules in place, whether enforced by the SEC or not, what do you think of the feasibility of a class action lawsuit by at least 100 or 250 SI investors who have been financially damaged if in fact Compac officials quietly put this information in the hands of favored ANALysts earlier, at our expense? It is quite obvious that there has been considerable financial damage caused by this tactic, if in fact it occurred. A good legal team could readily find this out through subpoenas of the analysts' documents at certain financial houses through the discovery process. I frankly do not think the SEC is going to be of much help, no matter how many letters we send. The chairman, Mr. Leavitt, talks convincingly about leveling the playing field for the individual investor, but nothing is ever done about the situation, to my knowledge. A group of 100 to 250 of us could retain expert legal counsel to proceed on this matter. By contributing $1,000 each, we could raise $100,000 to $250,000 to get the ball rolling. $1,000 is a tiny fraction of what most of us have lost or stand to lose. If more of us join this effort and put more money per capita into the fund, we can really cook! This would also be a terrific opportunity for the right legal team to get national exposure. DON'T GET MAD...GET EVEN!!! It's time we stopped being victims and kicked some ass!! Comments? Suggestions?
