David Zimmer, any comments on why the volume is still relatively high? I was expecting lower volume today...

>>>>I guess what is a little frustrating is you see these companies that just come public (i.e. Dr. Koop (KOOP) and they immediately strike deals with a portal (YAHOO, for some cash, on KOOP's part). There are other examples as well. And they go up huge..... Good ole' CKFR has been around since dirt, relatively speaking, and is really still a Bankers Buddy. (350 banking relationships). Yea the Bankers Buddy.....Web Bill Pay, the product...which includes E-bill and pay anyone....should have been on the portals a year ago. Tied up the space on all the portals....like a vise grip on our Buddies Balls. That's critical on the internet to get first mover advantage....and we wait, and wait while these enemies out flank us at each pass....that's why the lesson on Sherman the other night...you don't piss with an enemy....we learned that in Vietnam...you Crush them like the Storm. Reminds me of that old Movie ScarFace.....and we keep getting tossed in the shower by the trusted financial service providers. IMO...in the next few short years financial service providers are not going to look like they do today...not if Ford, Wal Mart and Casket makers what in on the action. Again....it's the distribution stupid. -FUBAR
