Ford Foundation - didn't know that, but find it interesting they are SELLING. OK, only 20,000 shares out of at least 5 million, but it's a start. Kind of curious though, do they need a measly million bucks that bad? Why not sell a whole bunch more or just hang onto it?

Hambrecht and Quist helped start this recent mania with a reiteration of a Strong Buy on 6/9, I believe, at the same time that they lowered estimates (and Everen came out with a Strong Sell.) At the time I wondered if they were touting the recommendation to stir things up so that they could get big clients out without starting a panic - now you provide confirmation of at least the one case of the Ford Foundation. Interesting. e.b.
