Still $5.00 and under but not for long:
When you think about what a name change did for XTON when it became ELOT, and what new Internet territory did for FLBK, it is not hard to imagine what DWNS could do. Combine that with near future announcements of new contracts and I believe that DWNS will not only shoot up, but that it will stay up and continue growing. The following announcement was published this morning:
Downstream Announces the Acquisition of Q-Seven Systems, Inc.
PR Newswire, Tuesday, May 25, 1999 at 08:49
SALT LAKE CITY, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Downstream Incorporated (BB: DWNS) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Q-Seven Systems, Inc. The acquisition makes Downstream, via its wholly owned subsidiary, Q-Seven Systems, Inc., the exclusive sales and licensing agent for the Q-Seven User Management System.

The Company anticipates its shares will be trading on the Frankfurt Exchange in Germany in the coming months, as well as the OTC Bulletin Board in the US.
