Ethics Statement

Here is a statement of my ethics and coverage policies. It is more than most of you want to know, but, in the age of suspicion of the media, I am laying it all out.

I have a 401K plan and, like many such plans, the holdings of the funds it includes are managed without my guidance. My 401K plan includes no technology-specific funds or indexes, although it might from time to time include technology stocks. But I do not have any knowledge about when they buy and sell any shares. I also own an IRA and one of the diversified funds is a Munder Internet Fund, which is a tech-based fund. It amounts to less than a quarter of the IRA's net asset value. I haven't traded that account since 2000 and also do not have any knowledge about when they buy and sell any shares.

Beyond the issues discussed here, I also abide by the Dow Jones Code of Conduct, which can be found here.
