All: Well if befuddled is a word I am really befuddled. The IPO is going forward and IMO would appear to be a slam dunk in getting the price to rise - They just announced that the 3 qtr earnings will be above expectations - not only that in addition they say that 4 th qtr earnings will be super - the close out of the industrials is in the near future - we have a buy back plan of something in the order of $3B - there is talk of a merger of the TV interests - AND GUESS WHAT - THE STOCK PRICE GOES DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to tell you that this stock is one of the most confusing that I have ever owned - I would have bet that this sucker was rising today - instead it tanks even when all the news is positive. We cannot blame Billie's Sex in the Workplace - actually that should help - Imus & Stern and all the other radio guys have all the material they need for the next 6 months - and still the damn stock goes down. I feel a trip to the mountains coming on ! John
