Warren is a trader, his time frame is just years,... not days or hours. If he was a true Buy and Holder he'd never have had all that cash he was sitting on now would he?? Explain that. BTW...I already do time, I use Rydex and Profunds leveraged index funds for both long and short the NDX and SPX. I'd never start a new mutual fund...there are WAY too many already, now a hedge fund...now you're talking. I'm actualy gunna work on doing a QQQ trading partnership after y2k first. I should have enough real $$$ trading & track record with my system by then, you want in? BTW>>>Don't get me wrong there are a hand full of stocks you can just buy and forget, maybe even 20 or 30 of them...but there are thousands you should trade.

Up-date on Pace/C-Cube cable boxes in the UK................ inside-cable.co.uk 13th August 1999 UK INTERACTIVE TV UPDATE BSkyB is to start its interactive TV services during coverage of Manchester United v. Arsenal on Sunday 22nd August. Sky Digital viewers will be able to select highlights, statistics, replays and an alternative camera angle. The Open interactive service from BIB (in which BT is a partner) will be available in the autumn. CWC signed 10,000 subscribers in its one month marketing trial in Manchester for its interactive digital television service, which is now being made widely available in the Manchester area. Of these subscribers 6500 were newly signed. E-mail and Internet via the TV are now being made available and plans for the roll-out of the full service to be extended to London, the South East, South Coast and Leeds by October have been confirmed. Digital TV subscribers will be able to send and receive e-mail through their TVs using their remote control or an optional infra-red lap-top keyboard. The service is inclusive in the 12.98 pds a month subscription and there are no ?call charges?. The interactive services allow access to a range of websites including Tesco?s home delivery, information and ticketing, Barclays Bank and news. To be shown on TV the websites have to be processed through a filter which makes them suitable for the different screen resolution and for interactivity through the remote control. It is hoped to have 100 websites accessible over the service by October. In October too, Two-Way TV, majority owned by CWC, will launch its games and quizzes service on CWC?s digital TV platform. NTL launched its first interactive service to TV customers in April, using its Internet TV box which connects through a telephone line. Cable customers in Guildford have been able to subscribe to a cable modem service since the early summer and this is being slowly rolled-out across the country. A full digital TV launch is planned for September. Telewest meanwhile has indicated that its digital TV launch will be in the autumn, and will be accompanied by an extensive range of supporting web-based services through an agreement with Microsoft. There are indications that the Telewest settop box will carry Windows CE and will support versions of Word and Excel, allowing e-mail attachments to be viewed and edited on the TV. ¸Copyright 1999
