J.P., FWIW I'm looking at different dates for those 144's: 20-Jan-99 SMITH GORDON C Planned Sale (144) 10,000 Common - $741,250 13-Jan-99 NICHOLSON THOMAS T Planned Sale (144) 50,000 Common - $3,525,000 12-Jan-99 BALDWIN DONALD D Planned Sale (144) 42,000 Common - $2,861,674 7-Jan-99 SIMPLOT JOHN R FOUNDATION INC Planned Sale (144) 42,500 Common - $2,735,223 7-Jan-99 DURCAN DERMOT M Planned Sale (144) 4,000 Common - $260,000 6-Jan-99 STOVER WILBUR G Planned Sale (144) 50,866 Common - $3,001,094 biz.yahoo.com If you go back to the NYT piece last Sunday, you'll notice they gave the date of the 10-Q as 1-5-99. This most likely was a harmless error. However, you'll see something interesting happens when you make the data of the 10-Q 1-5-99 and not 1-13-99 (the correct date). There's a chance not a single share was actually sold out of the above filings (I guess we'll see in the future) and jumping to conclusions would be unfair. I think we'd all want the same degree of fairness. That said, IMHO, it is interesting that the Form 144's have been piling up in the context of other events. Good trading, Tom
