Meanwhile, Merrill Lynch & Co. has done its about-face on the stock, and after telling its clients it thinks the stock is worth $50 at most, now wants them to buy it at $138 — all the while maintaining that, hey, these are the opinions of the analysts, not the company that employs them. In this particular house of ill repute, it would seem that the owner is just the piano player. Actually you need to divide that "value" of 50 bucks by 3 (stock split) to get to Cohen's valuation. "House of ill repute" ... hoe, hoe hoe -g- Regards, Ice

... Amazon.com reported ... roughly $29,000 of revenue per employee, which is about one-fourth the number for Saks and other old-line department stores ... Call me crazy, but wouldn't the sales per employee for the aforementioned Barnes & Noble be more relevant? Perhaps that number didn't suit the conclusion he wanted to reach. Tom
