EXPECT AND RELISH PRICE VIOLENCE
Copper Mountain "1.31.00: [CMTN-49 15/16] we continue to rate CMTN a "Strong Buy" and have re-iterated that opinion to the media. The purchase of OnPrem Networks expands CMTN's offerings in the multi-tenant market and is important because of the potential of volume business that this can bring to Copper Mountain. What is even more important is the acquisition of talented technical personnel that can propel CMTN's expertise into this important MTU ["Multi-Tenant Unit"] market. Prior to the announcement, CMTN was headed to a move beyond the $67 « high. This announcement has given us one more opportunity to acquire stock in the fifties and we even have a minor break into the forties with this move today. Use this period to add to positions at current levels. CMTN is one of our "Core 2,000 stocks."
2.12.00: With the recent move to $78, CMTN may take a rest and that means price deterioration and diminishing activity. THAT IS WHAT WE WANT. Traders, of course, may exit whenever they want, but we caution that sales at higher prices should, in our view, be replaced as the stock consolidates. Our best guess is that CMTN will wander in the 60's and there is a potential of a break [about a 20% chance] of $60. We suggest accumulation of CMTN in the 60's and aggressive purchase upon a break of $60. But, we also think that is quite capable of simply inching back toward the $79 number and attempting triple digits.

"AXXel Hands-On Accounts"
In response to inquiries relative to opening securities accounts handled directly by AXXel Knutson, here is the deal: Accounts are handled directly by Knutson and the basic charge is a commission on transactions of 1% of the transaction amount in and the same going out. There are no additional investment management fees and there is no sharing of profits or losses. Client-selected stocks may not enter the account unless approved by AXXel and this is not a likely occurrence. The minimum account accepted is $100,000 and this minimum will increase in 2000. Sob stories are listened to for amounts under $100k but rarely accepted unless AXXel is in the mood. These accounts tend to be trading accounts so don't even ask if you can't stand the activity. AXXel does not personally trade in the same stocks as clients or those written about in his newsletters or spoken about in media appearances although Platinum Equities and its officers may take and have positions although they receive no advance notice of new recommendations or changes in opinion. Those interested in additional information may call at 800-696-9002 or email AXXel at axxel@blast.net. There are no investment management fees and no sharing of profits/losses. We do not deal in BB stocks [with the exception of some ADR's] or any stocks in which Platinum makes a market or has any corporate finance affiliation. Refreshing, isn't it?
