Gillette fell short of earnings ... Wall Street's still down on the company but this year a lot of smart money investors are snapping up the shares because they see the trend in the technical generation of the stock. One analyst I called, Kevin Lane, says that the stock will hit $54 in six-to-nine months, ... So it's a very good play on an old name that's a fallen angel.

We bought some shares recently in a dot.

The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

I'm not sure that in this case he brings a whole lot to the party. The businesses are not mismanaged. There's not an awful lot to fix. We are very happy to see Icahn stirring the pot, but the way things are going and the way this company is being managed, it's a day late and a dollar short. The things that are being done to fix the stock have already been done. I don't think anybody can have any qualms, as a shareholder, with Dick Parsons.
