Broadcom's Independent Board

Scanning press releases this morning caused me to send off this email to Broadcom. I will keep readers posted.

"I read this mornings press release and was wondering how Ms. Handel could be considered an independent board member. Do Broadcom and Applied Materials not have any business dealings? Whose interests will she represent; Broadcoms shareholders or those of Applied Materials? I may be reached by either email or at 416.461.3126.

Weekend Follies 19-20, 2005

Only two companies caught our attention this weekend. Merix Nasdaq:MERX and L-3 Communications NYSE:LLL. With Thanksgiving day weekend almost here be careful about information being released when we are all enjoying turkey.
