During the Wednesday conference call, questions, and some laudatory remarks, were made by someone from S.G.Cowen Securities Corporation. Here is how that firm describes itself: SG Cowen Securities Corporation is an integrated, full-service U.S. securities and investment banking firm focused on select emerging growth industries such as technology, health care, telecommunications, media/entertainment, gaming & lodging and packaging. This focus provides SG Cowen professionals with a keen insight into the trends and issues impacting these industries, and enables us to provide innovative financing and investment solutions to corporate clients and institutional and individual investors worldwide. Through SG Cowen's partnership with SG in the U.S., we offer a full range of investment and commercial banking, treasury, financial advisory, execution, and industry services. And as a subsidiary of Société Générale Group, SG Cowen has the international reach and capital resources to deliver universal banking services to clients. **************** This is from Hoovers: With the bulk of a big French bank behind it, SG Cowen Securities specializes in securities and investment banking services for companies involved in the health care, technology, entertainment/media, and telecommunications industries. Societe Generale, Europe's #5 bank, formed the company in 1998 when it bought US-based private partnership Cowen & Company. SG Cowen operates 18 offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. Its services include investment banking, asset management, research, securities trading, and interdealer bond brokerage. In addition to offering asset management services for both institutions and individuals, SG Cowen serves as a clearing agent for other securities firms. Top Competitors: BT Alex. Brown \| Goldman Sachs \| Morgan Stanley Dean Witter ************* I suppose, considering all of the above, that one could speculate about the real interest(s) this firm would have in HIE- that is, could there be more than easily meets the eye here? It would be interesting, I think, to see how other investors might view this.
