               Q  Did you suggest that your clients consult with                      
               others who were plastics experts?                                      
               A  No.  I told them that I was investing and that it                   
               seemed like a sound investment to me, and if they were                 
               interested they could participate as well.                             
               Q  Did you recommend the investment?                                   
               A  To the extent that I just stated.                                   
          Feinstein was asked what his recollection was regarding the                 
          nature "of the recommendation and how it was presented by Mr.               
          Alter".  He replied:  "It is my recollection and based on how I             
          was and he was with clients, that it was a possible investment.             
          He thought it would work for them and would work as an investment           
          with no--no pressure at all.  * * *  Most certainly not                     
          pressure."                                                                  
               Just as Alter mentioned but did not "recommend" the Plastics           
          Recycling transactions to his clients, there is no showing in               
          docket No. 6302-89 that any of the Shea & Gould partners                    
          recommended or advised that Alter invest in Poly Reclamation.               
          Feinstein claimed that he came to a positive conclusion with                
          respect to the soundness of the Plastics Recycling transactions             
          and that he communicated this conclusion to Alter.  Yet, as Alter           
          well knew, Feinstein did not personally invest in a Plastics                
          Recycling transaction, nor did his friend Lauren.
