Yeah, we canucks don't fight back either...maybe about cable...that's about it... I think, most yanks don't understand ltcm, just as they don't see how mutual funds rip them off...anyway most think mutuals aren't in stocks anyway and many I hear think they are guaranteed... Maybe you really are Fast Eddie...? Howard

Mike, disecting the Softy numbers: <<from the news) "On a strict operating basis, the company said earnings rose 19% to $2.22 billion. The bottom-line figure was aided by a huge jump in investment income. Investment income rose to $720 million from $190 million a year ago." (also from the news, later) Lookie here, this guy apparently shares my worry : Jeffrey Maxick, director of research, Madison Securities, said, ''Most of the numbers are actually pretty much as expected. The real variance in the earnings was more non-operating income than expected. Revenues pretty much came in exactly as expected.''>> #reply-9038210
