Well written and informative article about LTCM and Meriwether crew in NY Times Magazine. Way too many pages to paste here. You can all register for free to read the paper. nytimes.com BTW--How the heck are they selling newspaper if you can register for free and read the paper from the net?

Michael, although I still don't agree with the channel stuffing argument, in the interest of fairness, I'm posting this Cramer article. The entire article is not posted. Fundamental Woes Take Back Seat to Microsoft News By James J. Cramer 1/25/99 9:04 AM ET On one side is the impeachment trial, Brazil, China, Merck (MRK:NYSE) woes, potential Fed tightening, Amazon's (AMZN:Nasdaq) giant losses and foreign weakness. On the other side is a 2-for-1 Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq) stock split. In this market, you go with the split. It will color everything far more than those other issues. Amazing. It's called a bull market, and stuff like this split takes precedent over the fundamental woes. Lotta other weird stuff today. Fox (FOX:NYSE), which hates the Net, signs on with Yahoo! (YHOO:Nasdaq). Lilly (LLY:NYSE), which hates the generics, settles for peanuts -- talk about a huge win for the Pacers (don't they call the people who work at Lilly the Pacers?). Ashok Kumar, who hates Compaq (CPQ:NYSE), disses Compaq with his now-usual channel-stuffing comment, which, at this point, probably means it goes higher, as lots of people are making money betting against this guy. And Opco downgrades Merck! Gutttsssyyy! Talk about an overreaction to an overreaction. And Citigroup (C:NYSE) trading up off that awful quarter. And Morgan Stanley says the market could go to new highs!
