Pucker factor? Can't a guy make fun of another's typo? Besides, what do we have to pucker up about? Few shorts here suggested the path would be straight down, but the earnings -er- loss revisions should be an obvious warning sign to you bulls. Do you think Keith Benjamin would come right out and say sell? Of course not, but if you pay attention, he is saying that he drastically underestimated the losses over the next couple years and, in case you've forgotten, has a price target (his estimation of value supported by 2001 earnings using a PE of 50) on the stock of $46 (which I guess he'll have to revise as well since the loss revisions surely effect 2001 if he raised 1999 losses by 150%). Good luck, Bill.
