Skeets, Pain managment. I am now filching the term as my own. <G> I had a friend at Waddell & Reed who once made a similar comment at a meeting between analysts and top mgt. As he phrased it, "you can get results using the carrot or the stick. But I'm sick and tired of being sticked." <G> He left and became an II All America Tech Stock analyst at Cowen & Co. I still don't know where his life went wrong. <G> I hate "tough" bosses. That is one reason I hooted when Cypress Semiconductor hit the wall. TJ Rodgers was consistently rated the toughest manager in the tech industry. When the co. recovered, he took all the credit, even though anyone with half a brain knew that the chip cycle deserved at least 105% of the credit. Then, when CY collapsed again, he hid under his desk and blamed everyone else. The other reason I hooted was I was fully loaded with CY puts at the time. <G> I see some of that in Solectron, though, from the outside, at least, it doesn't look as much like a Stalag as Cypress. MB
