Albert, <<Without this exaggerated claim, MRVC may have closed Thursday at $17, and closed Friday at $11. >> This reminds me of the discussion by former congressman Ben Jones (D) from Georgia on a TV talk show. The discussion was from a Clinton defender who said, "if it wasn't for Ken Starr, the President wouldn't be going through this." To which Ben Jones replied, "Yes, and if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass when he jumps." You should be scared to death that the price has fallen into the 6's WITHOUT the uncovering of accounting irregularities. What do you think will happen then? Tip - the price won't go up! This management has lied to the longs of MRVC, and worse they clued the insiders first - then released the info publicly. One last point, it will be months before the public documentation shows whether or not there was any insider selling the last few weeks. Any guesses?? Cube

Albert, concerning insider "buying" in MRVC: All on 5/29/98: RAVNOY ZEEV Bought (P) 10,000 (i) Common 23.35 $233,500 MARGALIT SHLOMO Bought (P) 10,000 Common 23.31 $233,100 LOTAN NOAM Bought (P) 5,000 (i) Common 23.35 $116,750 That is impressive on it's face. But when considered in conjunction with these transactions, on 9/18/97, it doesn't look so good: RAVNOY ZEEV Sold (S) 200,000 Common 35.75 $7,150,000 MARGALIT SHLOMO Sold (S) 200,000 Common 35.75 $7,150,000 LOTAN NOAM Sold (S) 100,000 Common 35.75 $3,575,000 biz.yahoo.com Those inside 'buyers' have been net sellers, to the tune of millions of dollars.

Oh really?:"I am sick and tired of listening to the argument of how wrongful of one-time write-off practice." You'll be a lot sicker when you see any Company that you own that has used this too aggresively get sliced in half over the next few weeks. As so called "in for the long haul" investors are the only ones left holding the bag, they will find out that what is in the bag doens't smell very good. Cockroach theory appies here: if they've got problems in one place, they've got more problems.
