The new Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders lists a Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., Inc. as owning 5% of DEC stock. Is this just some mutual fund or is someone making a move on us? Inquiring stockholders want to know. -rjc-

As I understand it S.C.Bernstein are a stockbroker and a major dealer in DEC stock, my guess is that they are simply holding 5% until they are bought. | |||||

Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., Inc. is an institutional money manager for several hundred clients, mostly pension funds and the like. Their investment in DEC is just an example of their "value-investing" philosophy not working out. They have record losses in their clients' portfolios this year, in part because Bernstein was a heavy buyer of DEC stock in late 1987 and 1988. Just hope they don't decide to dump it all now. No takeover threat - just bad decisions on the part of their investment managers. There clients are reportedly not too happy with Sanford C. Bernstein today. /Jud | |||||
1212.4 | making a very long, slow move on us? | DEC25::BRUNO | SOCK-RA-TEASE | Tue Oct 02 1990 21:30 | 4 |
Sounds like the same 5% mentioned back in 1037.10. I thought that hubbub had died down. Greg |
