Wierd institutional update: Merrill Lynch Asset (see bold below), one of six new institutional buyers of GTE in Q3, has disappeared from the list at this site:

http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/holdings.asp?mode=&kind=&symbol=NCTI&symbol=GTE&symbol=&am...

reduces the total shares held by institutions by their meager 8,200 share holding...no biggie, but if they're gone, they should be on the list as having sold out, and they're not!?
