RE> It was written a while ago, think there was a line about finding the next Xerox.
Funny you should mention Xerox, back in about 97-98 I worked for their XBS group that was contracted on Sun Microsystem's campus out here in the Silicon Valley. I almost got wrote up because I had "talked" to a few friends telling them NOT to buy (outside of the company stock purchase plan possibly) Xerox stock and had a "serious" talk from my manager about this. LOL, even <I> saw that this pig was in it's death throe's back then.....it had to be the singularly worst run company I have ever had the dis-pleasure to be associated with.
Funny thing about a year after I left I received several calls from a east coast law firm representing a group of investor's that had filed a class action lawsuit. I mentioned this specific incident and my managers name to this lawyer, they actually flew out here to speak to me in person...their was a LOT more in terms of booking "fictional" sales revenue that I had to report to my mngt team, man these guys were totally cooking the books from what little I saw out here....if only I could have taken a short position back then......
good trading all...
