>>That briefing piece is the most bullish thing I have witnessed since I read about that fund which gave up on COMS a few weeks ago.<< Shows you what you know about Briefing.com - very little. They gave up on COMS some time in the fall/winter of '97, at the start of the Asia flu. They praised the stock VERY HIGHLY all of summer '97, and then when 3Com started going lower, they silently detracted it from their recommendations list...NOT A WORD, after it was one of their most highly rated prospects. In the past, they've downgraded their recommendations and backed it up with reasons. With 3Com they chose to slither away without admitting something went wrong on their analysis. They left readers wondering what's going on and in the dark. So, I'd be skeptical about what they say and don't say. Also, I've monitored their analysis/recomendations on many other stocks, since they're with E*trade, and for me it's an easy two seconds to see what they're saying. I've found them to be not totally wrong, but still lacking...usally smoothing out the facts, so they end up looking not so bad....
