Now damnit Tech this is exactly the kind of crap that pisses me off....listen to what you said, and I quote " "major investor knows something that nobody else does because he had a special meeting with the company that nobody else could possibly have had with the company and now will be dumping over time holding the stock down rumor".....

Stretchin things a bit, don't you think....Man this kind of crap is what makes threads like this so ridiculous most of the time. ALL I SAID, and I assume you can read properly...is that " after a visit to the company he has decided to reduce his position " WHO SAID ANYHTING ABOUT A SPECIAL MEETING ???? All I know, is all I said and that is he visted the company and is no longer interested in remaining invested. Don't you go putting words in my mouth. You have hyped and cajoled this stock to death. You have misled countless people with your constant hype and constant guaranteed predictions. How dare you come back and put words in my mouth. My statement said nothing about special meetings and etc.....He visted the company and now he is selling. You read whatever the hell you want into it, but don't you dare come back misquoting me like that. Tech, I wish you the best of luck with this stock...I really do, but you need to come down off your high horse and open your eyes.

Aetna Profit Hurt by Costs of Year 2000 Bug

N.Y. Times - Page C 8 - 11/5/98

Aetna Inc., the biggest U.S. health insurer, said today that its third quarter operating profit fell 6.1% because of costs to fix its so-called year 2000 computer software bug.

Aetna said it would spend more than expected - about $ 195 million over 2 years - to make sure its computers recognize the year 2000. Some analysts said the increase was a sign that Aetna still had not pinned down the scope of the problem, though others said raising its estimates was a smart move.
