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%). Bob, This has been my prediction for some time. I mentioned it in another post. Losses will continue to increase and I really doubt that will ever change. The buy recommendations will stay out there regardless. The stock will not fall straight down as you said. It really is very sad for some of us;-) Glenn
