|  #1 Posted on 12.2.03 1634.20 | Can someone explain to me what this all means?
From what I can tell, a Smith Barney fund, Acclaim Entertainment, and Viacom all just bought a lot of stock? Or am I reading these wrong?
Top three, filed Feb 12, 2003
Thanks,

Your analogy is similar to:
"They already have cars that you can drive, why not blenders?"
"I can already write with my hands, why not my pancreas?"
"They already have beef that I can eat, why not granite?"
-- my new favorite quote from Slashdot comments.

I think this is a form that the "beneficial owners" (> 5%) have to file every year within 45 days of the calendar year end bla-bla. If you look back through that same set of filings, you'll see pretty much the same form every year at about this time. I believe those people have owned that stock pretty much all along.
