Derek/Michelle- this deal not being included in the system should be throwing off Ospraie's MTM. This swap is at 4.70.. they are short 60 contracts..currently Cal02 is around $3.. which should result in $1M more positive P&L for Ospraie and $1M less for us. This must be settled first thing Monday. Caroline

subject: RE: Back office issues content: If these problems are not being addressed as they should be, call me and I'll get on it. This is unacceptable. -----Original Message----- From: Abramo, Caroline Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2001 11:22 PM To: Lagrasta, Fred Cc: Dyk, Russell; Zivic, Robyn Subject: Back office issues Fred- There are a number of issues we need to address with back office procedures immediately. We are losing money on avoidable problems and gaining a bad reputation in the market. Lets get Derek and Michelle together Tuesday afternoon. 2 of our counterparties are writing letters of complaint.. here's a sample of some of the quotes we have heard from the 10 counterparties we have added in the last 6 months. "I shouldn't have to spend my time decomposing the invoices and confirmations you send out" "It has been 10 days since we traded and we haven't received a shred of paper to give us the details of the trade" "We are being told in a confirm something different than we are being invoiced for" "We did not trade 300 contracts per day, it was per month - do you guys even think before you type" "I am a CFO and an accountant and I can't decipher what you are trying to confirm here" From a business dinner where a client of ours was speaking casually to large industrials and endusers. One, upon the mentioning of B2B exchanges said "they WILL NOT ever trade on EOL again because the backoffice procedure was such a nightmare.. they couldn't rely on the accuracy or timeliness of the confirm. This was a captive client who and needs to trade... who will not show us their flow again. The latest is the most disturbing: "we just want to do a small trade to test your system. We have heard it is a nightmare but want to see for ourselves - I mean how difficult can it be to book the purchase of 50 lots of crude" And still 5 days later they do not have one paper to show the details, not one phone call to confirm the trade...nothing. We even warned the BO that this was a new customer and to make best eforts to make sure the process runs smoothly and efficiently. Well, clearly we failed We do not understand what is going on in the back office. Is it that they are too disconnected from our daily operations to understand how integral their accurracy is to our business? Is there too much turnover? How are they trained? Who is in charge of the "backoffice"? There seems to be a different manager for every step of the process.. who co-ordinates all their efforts? Does anyone care? Ok.. I'll stop.. For our part, we have Michelle coming up to NY for a week in December (we wanted this to happen as soon as she started but did not work for her). We have to stop this before we lose clients (which we will). All the problems are being caused by the following: 1. Our inability to generate an accurate position report for our clients. This has already cost us money this year. Our clients do 10 trades a day.. they are constantly in and out of positions.. it is imperative that we get these right. As well, this report is our ONLY check to make sure deals are entered and entered correctly into the system. There are hundreds of books at Enron. We have postions on with dozens of them. We currenttly do not have an automated mechanism to pull deals from every book in one shot. We have to select books one by one.. this method will always result in books being ommmitted given our deal flow. Michelle is in charge of this process. We need a IT person on this yesterday. Michelle is spending most of her day verifying the validity of the report she generates. Robyn, Russell, and I check it everyday.. there are always mistakes. 2. There is a breakdown in the backoffice functions after Michelle collects the tickets we write and verbally confirms them. There is no check after they have been imput. There are ALWAYS imput errors. Michelle needs to check every deal after its entered into the system going forward. We also have NO set procedures for the bookings of deals. We have no idea where our job ends and the book admin's starts.. for non standard deals like gas dailies and swaptions we need to know the exact process from start to finish. 2a. Confirms are sent immediately after deals are entered.. what if deals are imput incorrectly? the confirm goes out anyway resulting in mass confusion at the client. Going forward, confirms need to be delayed until we can confirm that everything about the deal is correct. 2b. Invoicing.. there have been dozens of occassions where the amounts we are invoicing do not match the deals done.. 3. EOL- We are pushing hard to get counterparties on here.. we have signed Renaissance up (a 10B program fund) but I shudder to see how EOL will fair at these tasks. 4. Credit- All of our clients are margined. If deals are in the system incorrectly, the wrong MTM goes to the client.. another mis-match. We work closely with credit since we need to collect initial margin from some clients.. this amount changes daily- we need someone who can get on the phone with clients and explain these numbers through.. again, we are doing this now.

subject: RE: wheres the love? content: Sorry,sorry, sorry. Havent had internet access at home for past 5 weeks. Much easier to write these at home as when I'm done trading I don't want to look at my computer. For november, very neutral. Cash is impressive. Agree shutins, switching, and some weather are making market look more like equilibrium. Think with cash/futures at 20 cents, x/z looks crazy. As soon as z becomes prompt, the fear factor/risk premium of it will decrease and the whole winter will come off. Like your h/j trade. Hard to see it really being worth 9 cents at settlement. Been buying a lot of y/y cantango as I think next summer will be a piece but longer term gas story still very real and customers know it. Wouldnt be surprised to see 2/3 go to 50+. I think x has some room to go up, but not a lot. Dont want to play the market from the long side as been burned before trying to get long a market that is still in a downtrend. Seems like the curve will just keep rolling down with each expiry. All the winter months might settle 2.25. As such, the best thing to be short is jan. -----Original Message----- From: "Lafontaine, Steve" <[email protected]>@ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-+22Lafontaine+2C+20Steve+22+20+3Csteve+2Elafontaine+40bankofamerica+2Ecom+3E+40ENRON@ENRON.com] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 12:32 PM To: Lafontaine, Steve; [email protected] Subject: RE: wheres the love? well the mkts changed a bit since this writing. im more neturalish now i guess. suprised about the cash strongth. and i guess it doesnt mattr CUZ YOU DONT ANSWER YOUR EMAILS ANYWAY. regards > -----Original Message----- > From: LaFontaine, Steve > Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 4:40 PM > To: John Arnold (E-mail) > Subject: whats up young man? > > johnny hope all is well. is ok here. new york a little stranger than > normal for obvious reasons.. wwe're trying to get back to normal. pretty > stressful cupla weeks. business has been pretty good(trading anyway) in > natgas and oil. certainly have been some changes in natgas fundamentals > but too littl too late im afraid to get bullish . market sucks and the > newest shock to macr economics im starting to think are mitigating what > mite have been some postive bullish changes like gas/oil relationship and > gas shut ins. looks shitty i think. im not as short as ive been but > starting to think this witer is waaay too high priced. just funtction > timing i guess. i sold a few march aprils again. just doesnt fit the curve > and i think 80% probabitly we end march with over 1.3 tcf in the ground. > wud keep things ugle for awhile. > anyway curious your thots as always. also wanted to say hi.have a good > weekend

subject: RE: RIBFEST -5- (Nov. 3rd) content: I'm in. -----Original Message----- From: Woulfe, Greg Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 2:02 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RIBFEST -5- (Nov. 3rd) The World Wide RibFest "celebration of the Rib" is coming up. This will be the 5th annual ribfest, and John Mee has his work cut out for him to defend the title he won last year (for the second time). I believe he will have a tough time, as the competition looks increasingly focused on unseating the former Bostonian from his Throne. For those of you who haven't been to a ribfest in the past, it's a barbeque competition where 5 to 7 cooks compete to see who can produce the best Baby Back Ribs (if you want those Fred Flintstone beef ribs, you ain't getting them here). A blind-judging takes place to determine the winner, but often the crowd gets up in arms and nominates a "peoples choice" (though this is not officially recognized by the sanctioning body). Every year, my wife asks the following: "So, besides Ribs, beer and margaritas, what else will be served?" I reply: "Nothing comes to mind." She replies: "No." As you might expect, she wins this discussion year in, year out. So, appetizers, sides, desserts and food & drink for the kids are also served. The competition around the grills gets a little rough, so I recommend that the young and faint-of-heart maintain a safe distance while the cooking and competition is taking place. The appropriate College football games will be broadcast, so you don't have to worry about missing any games. There are a couple of changes to this year's competition: The competition will be held at the John Mee/Laura Benjamins compound in Bellaire Mike Paradise (who won the very first ribfest) has stepped out of the competition this year citing "personal reasons" Date & Time Saturday November 3rd. We fire the grills up around 12:00, and the judging takes place between 3:00 and 3:30. Where 4807 Elm Street in Bellaire Directions (from John Mee himself) From downtown, take 59s to 610s. The first exit is the Bissonette//Fournace exit. Take this exit and go through the light, noting the gouging in the lamppost from that freak cherry-picker accident from last April. Before the Bisonette light, there is a big Chase Bank Building. Right before that building is Elm Street. Take a right on Elm Street exactly 236 yards to 4807 Elm Street. Go inside and ask for directions there, cause I really don't have a clue... KIDS Bring 'em! We'll have the Moonwalk set up for them again this year, and we'll have hot dogs, burgers, popcorn and drinks for them. The more kids the better. What you need to bring Nothing, except maybe some attitude to heckle the cooks while they try to concentrate. RSVP Call John and Laura 713 839 8700 -or- Greg and Martha 713 861 2766 We need to make sure we stock up enough ribs to go around.

I have felt better. I'm really glad that Teresa's birthday is over. I think that we have been celebrating since Friday but of course you know that. I apologize for any strange behavior last night that I might have exhitbited. (ie...having you make food for me at a very late hour, singing and whatever else) Just wanted to check on you and make sure that you aren't sleeping at your desk. Afterall, you only have to say "buy" or "sell" all day. How difficult could that be? Kim

Kaiser Aluminum closed its = smelting operations in the Pacific Northwest in late 2000, choosing to rese= ll contracted power from the BPA on the spot market. According to the Spoke= sman Review, "Kaiser netted more than $460 million from the sales." Other a= luminum companies reselling power from BPA reached agreements during spring= 2001 with Bonneville. Under these agreements, the companies agreed to keep= smelters off line to keep power supplies ample in the region, and BPA agre= ed, in return, to give the smelters, when they restarted operations, a $20 = per megawatt-hour (MWh) credit for obtaining power from sources other than = BPA. Months of wrangling produced a contract between Kaiser and the BPA tha= t negates a "take-or-pay" clause that would require Kaiser to pay for the f= ederal power whether used or not. BPA said, "Under the agreement signed tod= ay, Kaiser will avoid the possibility of paying damages if it does not take= all the power under the contract...And if [BPA] can't resell it, we are no= t going to hold [Kaiser] liable for the difference," Clearing Up reported. = As a concession for the elimination of the "take-or-pay" clause, Kaiser wil= l receive interruptible service from the BPA on some of its 240 MW load. Ka= iser received criticism from union groups who claimed that the company was = using the money it had gained reselling power "to pay down long-term debt, = rebuild a refinery in Louisiana and reward executives with excessive bonuse= s," rather than splitting the money between workers that had been laid off,= the BPA, and building generation, AP reported.

Texan Doll "had prev= iously worked for several communications and consulting firms," and will be= receiving a salary of $200,000 as the power authority's CEO, according to = the San Francisco Chronicle. S. David Freeman, the authority's chair, will = retain his post. Freeman said he will "handle fewer administrative duties,"= and will "be able to devote more time to reaching out to interest groups s= uch as the Legislature and consumer groups," The Chronicle reported. Accord= ing to a 7 October report in the Orange County Register, consumer groups, b= usinesses, and the legislature have questioned the recent actions of the po= wer authority, which has vowed to secure nearly 3,000 megawatts (MW) of pow= er by summer 2002 to avoid power shortages. The power authority, which was = created by Governor Gray Davis and the state Legislature in May 2001, can i= ssue up to $5 billion in bonds to bolster the state's power supply through = financing new renewable generation or peaker projects. The Register said th= at businesses and consumer groups are worried that higher electricity rates= could be the result of the power authority initiative to bring 1,000 MW of= green power and 2,000 MW of peaker generation on line by summer 2002.

Dynegy Corp., Mirant Corp., Williams Cos., and Relia= nt Energy were the companies specifically mentioned. Under a 19 June FERC o= rder, price limits were established in 11 Western states to help tame the v= olatile electricity spot market. The June order stated that companies charg= ing in excess of the mitigated price had seven days past the end of the mon= th in question to file justifications for their overcharges. The 5 October = order said that the aforementioned companies filed justifications, but all = were rejected, and that other companies that overcharged during July, but d= id not file justifications, would also be subject to ordered refunds. Altho= ugh FERC did not release specific figures, the California Independent Syste= m Operator said that total overcharges for the month amounted to $260,000, = The Los Angeles Times reported. The commission's order explained the reject= ion of cost justifications for the four companies. The explanations by Mira= nt and Dynegy, filed more than seven days after July ended, were "untimely = and...neither company supported in detail its actual costs for its transact= ions," according to the document. Reliant's filing was "not consistent with= the requirements of the June 19 Order," and Willams "did not provide any c= ost support for its transactions beyond restating general objections to the= commission's pricing methodology," the commissioners wrote.

subject: content: The y/y spreads have come in decently over the past week and a half. The 2/10 spread has moved from 104 to 94. It may be a good time to move the 3-10 to a cal 2 trade. Pira just gave their seasonal conference in NY and they are very bullish long term gas. Pira's forecast Nymex Cal 2 2.45 2.99 Cal 3 3.00 3.31 Cal 4 3.70 3.40 Cal 5 4.00 3.48 Cal 6 4.10 3.57 Cal 7 4.20 3.66 Cal 8 4.30 3.75 Cal 9 3.60 3.84 (TransAlaska Highway Pipeline) Cal 10 3.80 3.93 3-10 3.84 3.59 Regardless of what you think of Pira and long term price forecasts, the rest of the market does listen. They have a tremendous amount of respect in the industry and affect how customers and producers hedge. The flow, which has been buyers over for the way backs, I think will get more pronounced, especially if the front goes down. In the past week, I've sold Duke 40,000/d Cal 6-10 and 25,000/d Cal 7-10. I've sold PGE maybe 30,000 day Cal 4-5. The only seller has been El Paso whom I believe is hedging production. He is trying to pressure the y/y spreads as a spec trade that I think was/is being done to front run the corp hedges. I've used it as an opportunity to put a lot of spreads away for inventory down the road. If you want to buy this strip back in the next 6 months, I think it's going to be much easier/cheaper to roll it closer.

Surprised your shorts are still so confident. Trade shorts are quickly losing confidence based upon cash, shape of curve, and momentum. I think curve flattens a little more and then comes down in parallel shift down. 1. jan and feb are highest storage adjusted prices on curve. For market area sales, add on basis and dec and march are next. Question is whether there is enough non-discretionary stg to meet load at other times and in the producing region. A lot of stg has to come out either for tariff or engineering reasons. Million dollar question. 2. Think Nov bidweek will be weak. Don't know who baseload buyers are unless trade gets bullish. Nov is a relatively flat month as far as injections. stg operators dont have room to buy baseload gas and I think utilities will be planning to meet load using stg. At current prices, producers apply more pressure to wells, lng doesnt get diverted again, lose some load to resid, lose any momentum of industrial load coming back. Dont think gas market can handle that. 3. No clue. -----Original Message----- From: Abramo, Caroline Sent: Tue 10/16/2001 10:21 PM To: Arnold, John Cc: Subject: market awesome call on cash.. it does not get any better than that.. you picked the bottom- i am getting it slowly.. lots of calls today from people i do not speak to every day.. not too much panic from guys who are short.. most looking to put more on.. selling dec01 outright or buying gas daily puts on dec and jan... except pulaski who pared down dec01 short with us from 4000 to 1000.. do not think he's got on alot elsewhere. no one has anything on longer dated.. no one can figure out economy... questions: 1. why would any of the discretionary storage operators withdraw gas in the winter based on the current curve? 2. where do you think index gets set this month? i am thinking that utilities will overestimate loads for Nov01 and buy more during bidweek.. index gets set high and depending on Nov weather.. it could come back onto the market weakening cash again.. 3. do you have a view on eastern power for the winter? i do not understand the market drivers in the winter. thanks very much, c

Pipeline subsidiary `A-` rated senior unsecured debt at Northern Natural Gas Co. and Transwestern Pipeline Co., are also placed on Rating Watch Negative. The rating action primarily relates to the negative capital market reaction to recent disclosures by the company. The loss of investor and counterparty confidence, if it continues, would impair Enron's financial flexibility and access to capital markets, therefore, impacting its ability to conduct its business. On Oct. 16, 2001, Enron announced a $1 billion after-tax charge to earnings to be taken in the third quarter of 2001 and a reduction of balance sheet equity by $1.2 billion relating to the unwinding of structured transactions. Since that time, there have been several damaging news reports on the company and its management. More importantly, investors have voiced concerns. Enron's common stock price has plummeted and spreads on its debt have widened. The company has attempted to quell rumors and has publicly stated that it has adequate liquidity to conduct its business. Approximately $1.5 billion of unused liquidity is available under committed bank lines. An additional concern is that certain structured transactions of the company including Marlin Water Trust II and Osprey could unwind. While various sources of repayment exist, such as the sale or liquidation of underlying assets, or an equity offering, primary credit support is derived from the Enron obligation to remarket mandatorily convertible preferred stock if an amount sufficient to repay the notes has not been deposited with the trustee 120 days prior to the maturity date or upon a note trigger event. In the event that the issuance of the preferred stock yields less than the amount required to redeem the senior notes in either case, Enron is required to deliver additional shares. If Enron cannot or does not deliver on its obligation, then the amount of the deficiency becomes a payment obligation of Enron, representing a general unsecured claim. While trigger events include a downgrade of Enron's senior unsecured debt below investment grade by one of the major rating agencies in conjunction with specified declines in Enron's closing stock price over three consecutive trading days, Enron would have a forebearance period of 60 days as long as an attempt was being made to register the shares. The total amount of Marlin and Osprey debt is approximately $3.2 billion. Enron has not verified that the underlying assets have adequate market value to fully pay down the associated debt. While capital market uncertainties have escalated, Fitch has no information to indicate that there are any fundamental problems with Enron's core wholesale, retail, and pipeline businesses. Fitch expects to be in contact with the company on a continuing basis to both monitor ongoing events and address strategic, longer-term issues. STOCKWATCH Enron higher after dismissing CFO Fastow 10/25/2001 AFX News (c) 2001 by AFP-Extel News Ltd NEW YORK (AFX) - Share of Enron were higher in opening trade, after the company dismissed its chief financial officer, Andrew Fastow, due to his past involvement in running two partnerships, in which Enron had invested, dealers said. At 9.56 am, Enron was up 1.13 usd, or 6.95 pct, at 17.55. The DJIA was down 138.60 points at 9,207.52, the S&P 500 index was down 15.95 pts at 1,069.00 and the Nasdaq composite down 39.02 at 1,692.52. Enron said it named Jeff McMahon CFO to replace Fastow, after announcing Monday that the Securities and Exchange Commission is looking into the Fastow-related transactions. "In my continued discussions with the financial community, it became clear to me that restoring investor confidence would require us to replace Andy as CFO," said chief executive Kenneth Lay in a statement. Enron shares have fallen sharply in recent days on concerns over financial transactions made with the two partnerships, LJM Cayman LP and LJM2 Co-Investment LP, which analysts said could affect future earnings and which have prompted class action suits against the company. McMahon, who had been serving as chairman and CEO of Enron's Industrial Markets group, had quit his job as treasurer last year, after voicing concerns within the company about Fastow's role in running the two partnerships, according to the Wall Street Journal. This morning, Salomon Smith Barney analyst Raymond Niles downgraded Enron to "buy- speculative," from "buy-high risk", to reflect his concerns that "lingering uncertainty over financial practices may begin to impair Enron's commercial operations." "This is the least likely outcome, in our view, but one whose likelihood has increased over the last week as questions continue to be asked," he said. ng/lj For more information and to contact AFX: www.afxnews.com and www.afxpress.com Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. =DJ Concerned Energy Cos Make Few Changes In Enron Dealings 2001-10-25 14:13 (New York) By Mark Golden, Kristen McNamara, Jon Kamp and John Edmiston Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Energy trading companies have concerns about the credit quality of troubled Enron Corp. (ENE), but they have made almost no changes in policies concerning the top trader of North American power and gas, the companies said Thursday. The concerns have arisen because Enron, which accounts for about a quarter of the trade in the country's power and gas markets, has seen its share price fall by a third this week due to uncertainties about its extremely complex financial structure. Moody's has put Enron's credit on watch for possible downgrade, and some of the company's debt is trading like junk bonds in the secondary market this week. "We have made no changes to our credit policy concerning Enron," said John Sousa, chief spokesmann for Dynegy Inc. (DYN). "It's business as usual." Williams Cos. (WMB) spokesman Jim Gipson said that his company, too, has made no changes and has no concerns about Enron's credit. Another Top 10 power and gas trading company, Aquila (ILA), has also left Enron credit unchanged. Other companies expressed concern, though they've taken little if any action. "Like everyone else in the marketplace, we're proceeding with caution," said Lora Kinner, director of credit for Tractebel Energy Marketing, the North American subsidiary of the Belgian company Tractebel S.A. Kinner said the company is just looking for more information and doesn't expect to make any drastic changes. Calif Guarantees Allow Williams To Book Power Revenues By Andrew Dowell Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES 10/25/2001 Dow Jones Energy Service (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Clarifications by California as to what electricity transactions the state will back enabled Williams Cos. (WMB) to book $180 million in power sales from the previous period as third-quarter revenues, the company said Thursday. The revenues came from power Williams sold through the California Independent System Operator, which runs the state's wholesale power market and clears and settles transactions. The state of California has paid more than $11 billion for power bought directly from suppliers, but has yet to pay for any ISO power since it took over the job of buying power for the state's ailing utilities in mid-January. Two weeks ago, however, the state made clear for the first time which ISO transactions it would back. "It's that fact that has allowed us for the first time to recognize dollars from sales to the California ISO," Williams Chief Operating Officer Steven Malcolm said on a conference call Wednesday. Williams reported third-quarter net income of $221.3 million on revenues of $2.81 billion, up from $121.1 million on revenues of $2.33 billion in the same period the year before. Williams is now in talks with California to secure payment for its ISO sales. The process is complicated by the state's role as guarantor of transactions undertaken on behalf of the utilities, which aren't creditworthy enough to buy power for themselves. The ISO didn't envision third-party guarantors when it set up its settlement process, and state accounting rules require more detailed bills than those sent out by the ISO each month, state power officials have said. The state says it has set aside $1.2 billion to cover ISO transactions. As reported, suppliers including Williams had charged the state with deliberately muddling the repayment issue to keep power flowing for free. Willing To Renegotiate Separately, Williams' officers also said the company was willing to discuss reworking its long-term contracts with California, provided the result benefited both parties. California Gov. Gray Davis is under heavy fire for having locked the state into contracts running as long as 20 years at prices negotiated at the peak of a market that has since collapsed. Both sides could potentially benefit from changes to the length of the term of the contracts or the specifics of power-supply obligations - perhaps freeing up supply that Williams thinks it could get more money for on the spot market, Malcolm said. "We're always willing to sit down with a customer," Malcolm said. Williams hasn't been approached by the state to renegotiate the contracts, Malcolm said. Any attempt by California to force through one-sided changes is unlikely and could backfire for the state by disrupting plans for new power plants, he said. "To the extent contracts are changed, financing is going to go away," he said. Downplaying Enron Opportunities Williams downplayed its ability to capitalize on the recent troubles of market-leader Enron Corp. (ENE), saying it focuses on large, long-term structured deals, not the high-volume, physical-market transactions that Enron dominates, Malcolm said. Also, TradeSpark - the Internet-based energy exchange in which Williams is a partner - is limited for now in its ability to expand and take volume from Enron's proprietary system EnronOnline because of the horrific losses operator Cantor Fitzgerald (X.CFZ) suffered in the attacks on the World Trade Center. "That's interrupted the rapid growth we were seeing," Williams Chief Executive Keith Bailey said on the call. Enron, which accounts for about a quarter of the trade in the country's power and gas markets and which makes a market for those commodities on EnronOnline, has seen its share price fall by a third this week due to uncertainties about its extremely complex financial structure. Those concerns have raised questions about the business model of EnronOnline, a platform on which Enron is the counterparty in all trades. Those concerns could eventually boost volume on neutral exchanges like TradeSpark. "We continue to believe in the neutral platform that TradeSpark offers," Malcolm said. TradeSpark LP was formed by eSpeed Inc. (ESPD), Cantor Fitzgerald (X.CFZ), Shell (RD) unit Coral Energy, Dominion (D), Koch Energy Trading Inc., TXU Corp.'s (TXU) TXU Energy unit and Williams Cos.'

Stocks Expected to Open Lower, Hurt By Weak Economic News 10/25/2001 Dow Jones Business News (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) A Wall Street Journal Online News Roundup Stocks are expected to open with losses Thursday, weighed down by disappointing U.S. economic news and the European Central Bank's decision to leave interest rates unchanged. About an hour before the New York Stock Exchange opened, futures on the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index were sharply lower, suggesting that the Dow Jones Industrial Average will post a 94-point loss at the opening bell. In one of a trio of negative economic reports, the Commerce Department said orders for durable goods, or products expected to last more than three years, tumbled 8.5% in September. That was a much steeper drop than the 0.9% decline forecast by economists surveyed by Thomson Global Markets. Meanwhile, the Labor Department reported that the number of Americans filing new claims for state unemployment insurance rose to 504,000 for the week ended Oct. 20. That was more than the 500,000 jobless claims expected by economists. The Labor Department also said that the employment-cost index rose 1% in the third quarter, slightly more than expected. The indicator measures changes in compensation costs, including wages and salaries, as well as costs for employee benefits. Later, at 10 a.m. EDT, the National Association of Realtors is expected to say that 5.26 million existing homes were sold last month, down from the 5.5 million sold in August. Prior to release of the economic news, S&P futures had pointed to a weaker opening on Wall Street, after the ECB left rates alone despite growing political pressure for another rate cut to help the stumbling European economy. In addition to pouring over Thursday's economic reports, investors will spend much of the session sorting through a mountain of earnings reports, said Peter Cardillo, director of research at Westfalia Investments. Among companies that announced quarterly earnings so far, Dow Chemical said third-quarter net income plunged 84%, hurt by weak demand, substantial price declines and a slew of charges mostly related to acquisition expenses and restructuring at Dow Corning. Among other stocks to watch, Enron on Wednesday replaced its finance chief, Andrew Fastow, capping a tumultuous day in which the Houston powerhouse saw its stock price continue to fall sharply. States suing Microsoft are hiring one of the nation's top trial lawyers, signaling they may seek a harsher antitrust remedy than the White House. Meanwhile, the software giant's Windows XP formally makes its debut Thursday. In key overseas markets, stocks were mixed. London's Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100-Share Index was down 1.2% in intraday trading, while Frankfurt's DAX was 0.9% lower. Earlier in the day, Japan's Nikkei 225 average closed with a gain of 0.7%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 0.2%. In Wednesday's session, Wall Street continued to shrug off disappointing earnings news, and focused instead on hopes that low interest rates and the government's economic-stimulus program will produce a recovery. Technology issues saw much of the buying, with the Nasdaq Composite Index rising 27.10 points, or 1.6%, to 1731.54. The Dow industrials inched 5.54 points, or 0.1%, higher to close at 9345.62, despite substantial losses in two of its components, Eastman Kodak and AT&T, which issued weak outlooks. In major U.S. market action Wednesday: Major stock indexes advanced. But on the Big Board, where 1.34 billion shares traded, 1,374 stocks rose and 1,743 fell. On the Nasdaq, 1.89 billion shares changed hands. Bonds gained. The 10-year Treasury note rose 13/32, or $4.0625 for each $1,000 invested. The yield, which moves inversely to price, fell to 4.588%. The 30-year bond was up 23/32 to yield 5.330%. Early Thursday, the 10-year note was up 10/32 to yield 4.553% while the long bond was 17/32 higher, yielding 5.303%. The dollar was mixed. Late in New York, it traded at 122.87 yen, up from 122.68, while the euro rose against the dollar to 89.35 U.S. cents from 89.07. Early Thursday in New York, the dollar bought 123.17 yen and traded at 88.27 cents to the euro. For continuously updated news from The Wall Street Journal, see WSJ.com at http://wsj.com.

Kaplan Fox Seeks To Recover Losses For Investors Who Purchased E 2001-10-25 12:07 (New York) Kaplan Fox Seeks To Recover Losses For Investors Who Purchased Enron Corp. Common Stock NEW YORK, NY -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 10/25/01 -- Kaplan Fox (kaplanfox.com) has filed a class action against Enron Corp. and certain of the Company's officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The suit is brought on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased the common stock of Enron Corporation ("Enron") (NYSE: ENE) between January 18, 2000 and October 17, 2001, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The complaint charges Enron Corp. and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants engaged in asset and securities sales to closely related affiliates and interested parties, which disguised Enron's true financial position. Many of the details of these transactions were hidden from the public. Defendants used these asset sales to falsely improve Enron's balance sheet, thereby maintaining Enron shares at an artificially inflated price. Certain Enron executives, who held positions in the affiliates that presented clear conflicts of interest, reaped millions of dollars in personal gains from these transactions. The complaint further alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants made misleading statements regarding the potential value of Enron's Broadband business, in order to artificially boost Enron's share price. With knowledge that Enron's Broadband business would never post a profit and was seriously overvalued, Defendants continued to make misleading statements about the Broadband business in order to maintain the share price at its artificially inflated levels. Defendants used the artificially inflated value of Enron's Broadband business to hedge against, in order to gain millions of dollars in financing. Defendants failed to disclose the risk of these financing arrangements. Defendants hid the true nature of Enron's earnings, its hedging, its businesses, and the correct state of Enron's finances from its investors and the market, further artificially inflating Enron's share price. While the stock was artificially inflated for the above reasons, Enron executives engaged in extensive insider trading, gaining personal proceeds of approximately $482 million during the Class Period, before the public became aware of the above practices.

Joe Kernen, co-anchor: We've got to shift gears into this Enron situation which has just been--you've been talking about it quite a bit, David--how could you not talk about it? Seventy-six million shares yesterday, down fifty percent in the last two weeks. This is a company with--what?--a hundred million in revenues. James Cramer, guest market commentator: Maybe. Kernen: Yeah, right. Anyone who does any trading in energy apparently, you know, uses Enron Online, so anything that destabilizes Enron to a great extent could destabilize the whole energy trading arena and... Cramer: Go ahead, say it! Say what you're thinking! No one has said it yet. We know the truth. We believe that Enron caused a national short squeeze. They knew every single number in this gas situation. They wrecked the California utility system and profited from it. That's my bet. My bet that this--they had--look, they were the market maker. Imagine if Instinet knew what you were going to be buying and took it ahead of you. I think they cornered the market for electricity for about four months, made a huge fortune and now the company is unraveling and when someone--when the Justice Department gets in there we're going to discover this. Kernen: Let's see what happened... Haines: Now, wait a second... David Faber, co-anchor: Whoa, whoa, whoa! The Justice Department, Jim? Now, is that new? Is that something-- Cramer: No, that would be, if I were a prosecutor, something... Faber: OK, so they are not being investigated? Cramer: Well, no, I'm actually being a little forward thinking. Kernen: The SEC wants documents about the limited partnership transactions of Mr.-- Faber: Which is very different from what Jim is talking about. Cramer: No, I'm saying that this is what, if I were an enterprising prosecutor, I would say, Did we have a nationwide short squeeze in electricity caused by one company that had access to all the screens and knew exactly what was happening with the electricity market which then wrecked the California utility system, cost the consumer billions of dollars, and is now being hushed up? Kernen: Well, let's talk about the actual news. Here's yesterday's trading-- Haines: Wait a minute. Kernen: Well, I just want to say that the guy is gone now. That's the new news here. Did you read--did you know that Fastow, after four-- Faber: Late yesterday. Kernen: Yeah, after four o'clock, Fastow is gone. What's interesting-- Faber: He's the CFO-- Kernen: But he's a new CFO. Faber: --who benefitted personally from some of these off balance sheet partnerships. Cramer: Mark, you know, I'm not on thin ice here, I'm not on thin ice. Haines: I just want to make sure we understand that this is your theory. Cramer: This is my theory. Haines: OK. Cramer: It is just a theory. It is my opinion. But I think we've got to find out more about that short squeeze that occurred. Haines: OK. Cramer: We need to find out whether it was orchestrated. Kernen: The new CFO might help regain some credibility for the company because he was the old treasurer who left that position a year or so ago because of some disagreements with how Mr. Fastow was doing business apparently. So now he's back as CFO and we'll whether that calms the market down. Faber: Well, what they need to do-- Joe, they need to come clean. I mean, that is what all the investors in Enron and those who've left the company as investors over this last week have wanted. Let's see everything; be as transparent as you possibly can be; tell us exactly what we need to know. And as much as they need to come clean with their investors, they need to come clean with their trading counterparties because that is really what people are concerned about. Kernen: Why is the credit worthiness issue such a big deal? Anyone who does trading with them, if their credit worthiness were to go--if their credit rating were to go down, how would that affect energy trading? Faber: Well, you want to know that they're going to be there on the other side and make good on the trades. Kernen: I guess you would, wouldn't you? Faber: Right. Not that they aren't, but why would you--if you can trade with seven other guys--seven other companies, maybe you cut back a little bit on your exposure there. Kernen: Now, why would-- Faber: And that would hurt their core business. Kernen: Why are people expecting some type of action from the credit agencies, not because of the stock price, right? Because of something that could unravel-- Faber: Because of something related to these liabilities they may have-- Kernen: That they don't know about at this point. Faber: --that they may have with regard to funding some of these off balance sheet partnerships that they backstopped in terms of borrowing that went on at the project level at the off balance sheet partnership. Will it be a liability? They don't know. But that's one of the reasons-- Kernen: We're talking hundreds of millions or billions? Faber: They don't know. Kernen: But there were billions of dollars in limited partners? Faber: Yes. About three billion in financing, I think is what some analysts estimated. Kernen: This is a pretty big number. Faber: Yeah, they can get to most of that with the assets that they have in the partnerships themselves. Kernen: I use a six month chart to show what's happened over the last two weeks. You got to look at here. But if we went back a year, you'd see eighty as far as the high for Enron. Now we're at sixteen. Faber: Everybody else took a hit yesterday. Dynegy got hurt. Kernen: Well, I got Dynegy next. Don't-- Here we go. Faber: I'm sorry. I'm getting a little excited. Kernen: You are. Faber: Enthusiastic about your charts. Kernen: There's a weekly chart of Dynegy, and you know what's coming next, don't you? Now I'm worried about the utility average. I've worried about the transportation average a lot in my career. Mark, now the utilities have replaced my worries. I'm angst-ridden. Did you see this chart? We're breaking below the-- Cramer: That's a positive, not a negative, Joe. Kernen: What's wrong with Cramer today? What happened? Cramer: I'm all fired up! Faber: He really is. My, God, he's got the DOJ getting all crazy, the FBI, the CIA. You going down to En--you going down to Houston yourself? Cramer: I may just have to. I may have to clean up that whole city. Kernen: Jim, why would the--that's the--now getting down to the lows, I mean, the other averages have come back quite a bit from the post-attack lows, the utilities are retesting those. That's not something to worry about? Cramer: No, because I think there's a lot of money going into more cyclical issues. I think the economy is showing signs of getting better. The consumer is certainly much stronger than we thought. The base book didn't say the corporate was strong, but the consumer is strong. Much stronger than before. Kernen: All right. In the past people have worried about the utility averages being a leading indicator, though. I don't--we're talking about four hundred to two-ninety at this point. That's a long way. Cramer: This average has got a lot of problems to it, but I still think that-- Kernen: It's no longer the-- Cramer: --you sell this as safety. We don't want safety as much as we want a little bit more reciprocality. # # #
