but after reading the report what's so hot about NOPT? 5 million anticipated for 1999 ronin, $5 MM is barely enough to make interest payment for one quarter. As you're aware, last August the company sold $180 million of senior notes bearing very high interest of 12 3/4%. Regards, Tom

I had no problem logging in at 9:50 am. It's a fact that only 25% of retail trades are done online so I extrapolated that there were a number of subscribers who don't have net or e-mail access. There's also those who don't check e-mail or access the net every day then lo and behold they get their report in the mail. There's also percentage of subscribers who don't play the momentum game and don't care to be first on the train who will buy Gilders picks on blind faith. When it comes to Gilders reports, I'll shoot first then ask questions later. I never made $20k faster, in at 10:05 and out at 10:20 am. As far as NOPT prospects, Gilder usually looks a little further out than most analysts. He also stays away from valuation issues. I haven't done enough DD to feel comfortable about jumping back in yet besides this market makes me nervous.
