<..WE MAY NOT TAKE PART IN IPO'S..> Thanks for the clarification Ted and I stand corrected in my presumptive posts on this topic. One last clarification? Are "you" allowed to invest in private placements (whether they eventually IPO or not)? Thanks again.

Ted, Thanks for the clarifications. Sure would be a bummer if the market was on a tear but GE was left out (or worse). Are you allowed to set up "blind trusts" so you can participate in the overall market w/o the conflict of knowing what specific issues/funds you own? Mark

Ted, I was quite displeased with the way Joe and others did the ISCA interview this AM: techstocks.com Tell Joe to get a clue, he showed no respect to this co. & man, IMO.

This is all good and makes sense. But sometimes it really must kill you to have to watch stocks you would otherwise buy fly into the stratosphere while you can only report. With the four month rule, I guess you can pick some winners like Cisco that you don't have to worry about when you sell.

Well If I could only own one stock I guess GE would be a good Pick. >> We are allowed to own GE stock and shares in the 401K mutual fund. Cheers. Chris

Ted, I noted you did not question the views of your guest John Murphy when he said he thought gold was being manipulated. You questioned me,more-over, you thought me daft. What's up? rh

Ted...YES!! CNBC needs more Art Cashin. I learn more about the market from his two minutes on Wednesday's than a daily dose of WSJ, IBD and TSC combined. Please, can we ask the producers to plead with him to do one more day each week? Like Monday's? I posted this here back in January and now that I know you're in the Cashin camp, perhaps you can help get it done. TIA, BV

To: Richard Harmon From: Ted David Wednesday, May 19 1999 3:24PM ET John Murphy is an established expertin his field and recognized as such around the world. If that is his opinion, who am I to question it? Are you an established expert in this field? If you are, please send me your CV and I will pass it on the our bookers. We are always looking for new guests who are the tops in their field and recognized around the world as experts. td Ted, Please reply to all questions posted in the in the public forum in that forum, I'm reposting this in public. btw, Is it true that there is no gold fund offered by GE, there-by, there is no way for those invested in the GE funds to profit from a higher gold price? Is it true the "GE Fixed Income Fund" is invested in derivatives? rh

Ted, So, CNBC was VERY quick to announce "XAU down 1.2%" this morning when it was down 1.55. Why has it not as quick to report the up close of 1.56? :) rh

Ok Ted. So you and your wife cannot take advantage of short term stock moves. How about Mom down in Florida?? Can she really afford all those "Early Bird" specials on just her Social Security?? Just kidding. Was following up on the John Murphy gold manipulation story, and saw you posting here. That situation has been so obvious for months that it's time someone brought it up in public. There is no other explanation for the timing of the comments. John must have spotted it on his charts. What all gold holders should be concerned about is that the final card is yet to be played. What happens when Summers announces sales from Fort Knox?? That may be the last ditch effort to hold gold down. Hopefully at that time it will prove to be too late. Kudos to John, and kudos to you for taking the abuse here. Dwight

Ted, What is the purpose of Mark Haines showing the brokers times for downloading their log-on page? Come on!! Time to download the log-on page??? This is a rather insignificant piece of news. Whether its two seconds or six seconds, who cares? Is this some of the filler needed for your extra hour? Want broker speed data? Check this smartmoney.com Regards, arno
