LOSER OF THE DAY.... Rainforest Cafe took a major hit.
You know these guys. Touchy feely, groovy, hug a tree,
politically correct eateries. Hotter than a jaguar's
you-know-what for a while. Momentum guys loved it. Not
anymore. The Street was looking for 25 cents for the
quarter. RAIN said, how about 23 or 24 cents? Street
said, how about we run your stock down $12 and three
tinies (sixteenths), to $18.50?!?! Morgan Stanley
downgrades. Company still looking for a full-time CEO
(interested Steve Jobs? just kidding!). And worse,
same store sales are looking weak. Moral? Never touch
a freakin' Toucan stock!!!
The FCC letter circulating that mentioned
phone company charges for internet was ANCIENT..
There is an automated response to the message you sent to isp@fcc.gov.
We established this mailbox for informal comments about usage of the
public switched telephone network by Internet access and information
service providers for a proceeding on this matter in 1997.
If you are responding to a message stating that local phone companies
have asked the FCC for permission to impose per-minute charges for
Internet access, please be aware that this information is out of date.
The FCC decided in May 1997 NOT to allow imposition of interstate
access charges on Internet service providers. There is no comment
period currently open in this proceeding.
More information on Access Charges and the ISP proceeding is available
at
Look for more features and announcements on our Web site,

I have identified a few stocks that are making the SPAM rounds. SPAM is neither good or bad, just that a great deal of newsletter attention has been given to them. This creates opportunities both good and bad. Timing is everything or lack thereof. I will not post anything other than the symbols and will privately send any info I have to any interested parties.
For now, BIPN, AXGI, CYGS, SPDV, DPAC are the ones I remember off hand. Be careful and look at the price movement relative to the verbage cycling on the internet.
Why pay attention to this??? The following was is titled DEATH OF A SPAM. This was a hot little item circulating lst year. I will provide the story and you REALLY need to look at the historical and hysterical chart of this company. It even did a monumental reverse split.

VideoLan Technologies Announces It Will Cease Operations
Business Wire - January 05, 1998 17:35
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 1998--VideoLan Technologies
Inc. (NASDAQ:VLNT) announced today that it will cease operations effective
immediately. The company was informed today that the source that had been
providing ongoing interim financing for the company would not provide any
further funding in the near future. As such, the company does not have
sufficient cash available to continue its operations and therefore must lay
off all but a few of its employees today. The lack of funding will also
prevent the company from fulfilling the purchase orders that have been
previously announced. Management of the company will seek to locate buyers
for the company's assets. However, the company anticipates that the amount
that will be realized from any such sale would be insufficient to allow any
distributions to the company's shareholders upon the company's liquidation.
