Not sure - could have simply been that the volume went don to practically nothing, some people like yourself had stop loss orders in and then someone got creamed in other stocks and was forced to liquidate positions. The stock quickly rebounded back to the trading range it has been in. I picked up more shares at 7 1/2 but wasn't quick enough or foresighted enough to catch the quick drop down. Management has done what they told me they would do. The company is well on the way to developing unique web and traditional marketing capabilities and back-end services. Several companies, such as Nordstrom's and trade reports indicate that the "next phase" of Internet commerce development is about to commence. Many leading companies have been dealing with Y2K and developing their Internet strategies and systems for introduction and revamping late this year and next. This next phase of competition will be the leveraging of "bricks and mortar" with existing operations. For instance, Nordstrom's (http://www.nordstrom.com/shop/) plans to have Internet terminals in each staffed sales department. The site will list everything generally available in the stores and possibly other items. A customer making selections from the on-line store will have the option to lay the items away for a couple days so they can make the final purchase decision at the store. If some items are not available in a specific location, the item can be routed to the store location of choice. That makes the shopping experience more convenient and predictable than straight shopping and more selective than straight Internet shopping. Navigant has plans to leverage their in-depth regional travel experts to provide up-to-date and more available personalized travel service. Some of that should include travel diary type information and streaming video. The people involved with the web development are very excited about leveraging the talents, experiences and on-sight location information that hundreds of business travel experts can deliver.
