PAIR--Another interesting article--Cramer bought and then realized it was a fraud after Faber "broke" the story.

PairPain
By James J. Cramer

4/8/99 7:47 AM ET

I bit.

It's just one line in an otherwise terrific Realized Gains
and Losses page from Cramer Berkowitz, but I'll never
forget the hoax: 30,000 Pair, -$26,877.

That's what you get for flying on instinct. I hadn't seen the
story. I just heard the word on Bloomberg.com: a
PairGain (PAIR:Nasdaq) bid. And I took stock.

A few minutes later, I'm listening to David Faber in Jeff
Berkowitz's spacious office and I see PAIR on the TV. I
tell Jeff to make it louder, and sure enough, what I saw
made me poorer.

"It's a hoax! It's a !@#$%^& hoax!" I screamed after Faber
broke the story. "Kick out the PairGain."

Cyberdupe. Me. The guy who loves cyberspace. I cut my
teeth on the Motley Fool. I helped set up TheStreet.com
with Marty Peretz. And I had been had.

So, of course, I kicked it out. What the heck did I know
about PairGain other than it was in talks to be acquired?
What was I supposed to do, find out about its book value?
How are its orders? I couldn't believe I could buy
something in line that had news like this. It didn't seem
possible.

It wasn't.

Don't worry, Mike -- it's not your fault. I am not going to
blame you. I am sure somebody's lawyer will. I am
waiting for some ambulance-chasers to say, Let's sue for
Cramer's $26K, and we'll get a huge fee while he gets 45
bucks. An open-and-shut case.

What a world.

Random musings: For more proof that you can't
speculate on takeovers, look at Humana (HUM:NYSE)
and then see my last story on it. ... Get me into this
latest dead-tree co-venture -- and fast! The Wall Street
Journal and The Financial Times are getting together to
open a daily in Russia. Hoo-hah!
