Some thoughts on XYBRW, NUKE, BICO, AVBC, ALYA and MAMH; for a typical slow Friday.

RE: [BICO] To answer your question, volume over past 3 weeks has averaged 10 mil/day. With 140 million shares outstanding, todays activity is not significant. Notice nearly all trades are sells at 1/16 [no doubt in disgust]. Ask has been between 1/8 and 3/16, while bid sits at 1/16. Yuck.

RE: [NUKE] I am impressed by the shear HOLDING of this stock. Nobody is at all interested in selling. Even during slowest activity price inches upward or holds firm. Very nice. In my opinion, the least bit of activity that comes into this one, IE newsletter pick, etc, will catch MMs with their pants down, holding short and no inventory. [sorry to those with vivid imaginations]

NUKE is, to me, a three headed monster; each head being one of the three technologies. It may take time to see this develop, so I am not expecting an immediate rise to stardom here, but it would not surprise me either.

RE: [XBYRW] Warrants of XBYR could be a terrific play, if you believe that XBYR will head back towards 20 [some believe higher]. CAUTION: As this is a daytraded stock - only the experienced should consider it. VERY VERY RISKY. Anyway, shares are immediately convertible, as I understand above a certain price [8?]. I believe something like 7.55 [please correct if wrong] is the price to convert to common. Please confirm BEFORE buying. Everyone should check out their deal with Sony to make "Net Man" wearable computers that can surf the net. Cool.

RE: [MAMH] I don't like the fact that the price shot up on a rumor that Meryk was buying them out, hence rocket to .24. It started the day at .027. The residual news, though good, does not warrant a 300 pct rise in today's price.

RE: [AVBC] How much is Aqua Vie paying the "placement firm" ad agency to put their softdrinks into the movies? I would love to see this company become the next Snapple, but they continually put the cart before the horse. First rule of marketing: Don't spend a nickle on advertising until the product is available for purchase. You cannot buy Aqua Vie in stores. So far, they are selling it to investors and advertising it to investors, via a business radio program. Now they want to pay how much? to place bottles into films? Let's say people see it...what must they do to buy it? Log on to the internet, then spend more in shipping than the product cost? Distribution is the one and ONLY key to Aqua Vie's success. Without that, all you have is real expensive water.

RE: [ALYA] This is going to get huge real fast. To me, it is the quietest most potential sleeper on the boards. I am in a stealth accumulation mode from today straight thru the end of next week. Rumors are all over the place on this one, but allow me to explain why this could be huge. I think that thru their development of high-tech security systems [boring], they stumbled on to something. SMART WIRES. Have you ever seen all the electrical wiring that runs thru a commercial building, let alone a home? By running a set of control cables [I call smart wires] throughout the building, the electrician can run far shorter power runs. Safer and far cheaper. But above that, every single appliance in the building can be controlled and programmed. Just the energy efficiency alone is worth the price of admission. This technology is not internet related or wearable. It's value is fairly hard to comprehend; short of learning architecture, electrical systems, construction and a few other sciences. With Motorola distribution tho, it is imaginable to see this technology designed into buildings and homes the world over.
