Rocky; I've concluded poor P/Es and earnings reports are nothing but like bugs on the windshield as you go down the freeway. They seem to produce some short term knee jerking, but have little effect and are brushed aside quickly. The rule of thumb is they present good buying times. Too many companies in the Tech sector simple go up with loss after loss for earnings to be a factor. Market share seems to be more important by far, price to sales etc. But mostly who owns the stock, and "who" shorts it. People that shorted IOM last year got burned, they are back hoping to get even, but they are suckers who will get burned again. IOM has more room to go up than down, so if any one reads this that is short, don't latter say you were not warned. The good news is I just went long, and I don't lose money I double up on anything I buy, if it falls, until they turn and go up. It works as long as you don't use margins and keep some dry powder.

Wall Street Visit Part of Nationwide Campaign to Build Public Support On Thursday, March 19, 9 a.m.-noon Teamsters who make Anheuser-Busch products will hold a rally anddistribute flyers about their campaign to fight the company's plans to slashgood full-time jobs. Who: Teamsters Local 102 and Local 843 members from the Anheuser-Busch Newark, NJ, brewery and supporters will rally When: 9 a.m. to noon, Thursday, March 19 Where: 20 Broad Street, in New York City's Lower Manhattan Financial District "The American economy needs good full-time jobs to stay strong," said DaveLaughton, Director, Teamsters Brewery and Soft Drink Workers Conference. "ButAnheuser-Busch, a billion-dollar company that can afford to create good jobs,is trying to cut them instead." Around the country, Teamsters are holding rallies at Anheuser-Buschbreweries and handbilling customers at stores that sell Anheuser-Buschproducts. Like UPS, Anheuser-Busch made a billion dollars in profits in 1996 and1997. In national contract negotiations, Anheuser-Busch is demanding contractchanges that would eliminate hundreds of good full-time jobs. Instead of creating more full-time jobs with good pay and benefits, Anheuser-Busch has expanded its use of seasonal workers, apprentices, and subcontractors. Since 1994 part-time employment at Anheuser-Busch has increased by 28percent. Full-timers are working harder than ever. In 1996, 25 percent of thetotal hours worked were overtime hours. Most of the overtime was mandatory. Forty-five percent of Anheuser-Busch Teamsters say they are forced to worksome mandatory overtime each month. Teamsters at all 12 Anheuser-Busch breweries nationwide have voted toauthorize a strike against the beer giant if the company won't agree to acontract that provides good full-time jobs. The current national contract covering more than 8,000 Teamsters expireson Sunday, March 29. Contract negotiations began on November 18, 1997.
