SECTOR: E-COMMERCE ENABLERS Gorilla in the making ??? HLTH and WebMD Inc to merge with 50 - 50 ownership in new entity. HLTH has previously announced merger with MEDE for 0.6593 of HLTH with a 38.625 to 63.625 collar.. Here's what MEDE does .. MEDE provides electronic data interchange products and services to providers and payors in the healthcare industry, processing over900,000 transactions per day for over 65,000 providers nationwide. For the six months ended 12/31/98, revenues rose 31% to $25 million. Net loss applicable to Common fell 20% to $3.3 million. Revenues reflect the 11/97 acquisition of Stockton Group and the 10/98 acquisition of Healthcare Interchange. Lower loss lagged due to greater debt levels. -------------------------------------------------------------------- HLTH has 70.7 mm shs MEDE has 12.9 mm shs The new HLTH/MEDE/WebMD Inc. entity wants to capture the 'medical portal' and 'medical claims transaction' space .. Don't be surprised if supplements and prescription sales are added to the mix .. might as well throw 'bill pay' in there too .. CKFR anyone ??? Given the demographics of aging boomers and investors that include MSFT/INTC/MKC/XCIT I smell a 'sticky site gorilla' in the making ..
