winnes...a little blurb from a newsletter I get.Just a few quick thoughts for tonight ******************************************* Deep Value Play ETYS (E Toys) All e-commerce retailers are getting dumped on by the analysts while at the same time AOL is reporting their members spent $4.9 billion on its shopping services last quarter which is more than double the previous year. Juniper Communications also says it expects online retailers to amass $9 billion in "holiday sales", which is up from $7 billion last holiday season. Forrester Research estimates that holiday online spending to reach $10 billion, slightly above the Juniper forecast. Something's gotta give here. With virtually little competition in the on-line toys marketplace other than Amazon and tarnished Toys R Us, this stock (ETYS) is looking attractive for a pre holiday run-up. We bought in today at about 6. Nothing big, only 2000 shares on speculation. Currently we cannot see ETYS falling much below 5 1/2 or so and the potential to reach the high $9 range looks promising. At $6 per share and a book value of $1.55, the downside appears limited considering that we're about to enter the prime season for this struggling company. I must confess, we're in this for a few quick bucks and do not consider ETYS an "investment". ***************************************** Today we also bought INTC and ORCL early as per our alert last night. ******************************************* Watch KOPN, its beginning to interest me as it may not reach $20 as we expected. It could be bottoming now. This is no guarantee but it may be a good idea to watch this stock.
