Turkey: None of your machinations will have any effect on TLC's 1Q97 report. Why don't you simply shut up and wait until April 27th when the report is released. Then, if there anything you still want to say, will be the time to say it.

As I've said, brokerage firms don't make money or reputations by dropping coverage on names they don't like. It is EXTREMELY profitable to let the client base know that you dislike a name. Thomas, let's get copies of the notes suspending coverage, - it's usually due to an analyst changing coverage to a new universe or other re-shuffling. Sometimes, bears (or bulls) drop coverage of a stock after they've been wrong for so long that it does no good to remind investors that you were a big loser for being so wrong on a stock. It makes no sense to drop coverage if you're about to be very right! It also makes no sense to claim so much "vision" from the analysts that dropped coverage when you "hate" the analysts that still have coverage. take robbie stephens, not involved in TLC banking transactions, yet they've completely reversed their negative stance on the story - good call by the analyst thus far. Well, I'm off to meet the management and discuss the ramifications of the upcoming "restructuring." TD
