Truf - I sent you this Feb 4th !!!!! To: Trufflette (27550 ) From: limtex Thursday, Feb 4 1999 8:33AM ET Reply # of 28584 Truf.. I stick by what I said. Unless there is something nasty lurking around that we don't know about then yesterday was a panic. If the author of the article you sent me was right why on earth should an institution sell his own stock for 10% less than it closed? As for downgrades well look what happened to QWST after its downgrade by a well know brokerage earlier this week. Its well up over the price that it was even before the downgrade. Do your own DD. Brokers are good for encouraging the discussion and for digging up information and for talking to the company. But at the end of the day stand by your own judgement...its as good as any brokers!!!! ( except maybe Abbey Cohen..who is in a league of her own) Regards, L "Unless there is something nasty lurking that we don't know about" Well there was! Regards, L
