Re: Message Quality The Yahoo message board is even worse. For a while, there was a good discussion going about the relative merits of Xerox copiers vs. the competition on the XRX thread. Then people actually started to complain that "we aren't here to talk about copiers or the competition, we're here to talk about the stock." (!) Can you imagine? Are there any investors left in the world or is everybody just chasing numbers and symbols on a stock ticker? Ob. Value comment: I bought Xerox a year and a half ago when it was a good value. The momentum folks seem to have taken over lately so I don't think it will appeal to the readers here. Take a look at the REITs though. I don't see them mentioned but I don't have any trouble finding good value there right now. Check out GRT or KPA. Dave

Re: "To something you mentioned in a post: Have you noticed a deterioration of quality on most of the threads (with exceptions) over the last few months? I find a stock, go to the thread, and find no analysis of the company, just discussion on market value." Some threads appear to be populated by the "GO BABY GO!" crowd; that is, people who purchased the stock based on an internet posting, who know nothing about the company, and are simply cheer leaders for upward price movements. I agree with a recent post that this thread seems to be populated by knowledgeable investors. Best wishes, I2
