Kimberly, I truly think this is a triple digit stock by yearend. Ketih Benjamin at BRS, whom I am sure you know, is more excited about this stock and its market opportunity than any other stock I have seen since EBAY. And over time, he usually is pretty on target. Which is not to say that I take his word blindly. I have ignored his picks many times succesfully. But the logic and dd behind his STMP report is really overwhelming. A $60B market in stamps. STMP has first mover advantage (all important on the net) by virtue of its being the only software-based internet stamp company at the moment (at least 12 months ahead of the next software competitor, Neopost, in the opinion of Benjamin). And what people don't realize yet is that this is not a stamp company! It is a technology company. It will expand into printing airline tickets, DMV renewal, etc. or else license out its software for such items. It has the potential to do expand exactly in the same manner that AMZN did and people just don't recognize it yet.

ECNC NEWS . . . eSportsbet Announces Successful Initial Testing Of eSportsbet.com Web Site LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 1999--eConnect (OTC BB:ECNC), fully reporting, announced that eSportsbet which until now has been receiving over the phone sports wagers, has successfully tested the eSportsbet.com web site and will soon open the site to the public. "Test customer responses have been excellent and we look forward to an imminent global launch of eSportsbet.com. eSportsbet has been averaging about 2 million per month in over the phone wagers and we expect to triple our business with the activation of our web site combined with our existing business. We are also very excited about the scheduled testing of Same-as-Cash wagers which we will be receiving from Australian originated ATM card with PIN wagers. "This opens up simple pay per play by the consumer with no need to open an account and this will be a tremendous and cost efficient move for eSportsbet.com. We will also be offering our Same-as-Cash Internet wagering services to competitor Internet wagering sites," stated James Wexler, President of the eGaming division of eConnect. "We feel that Same-as-Cash Internet wagering originating from Australia, which has legalized Internet gaming, will inevitably lead to a model of instant taxation of the players winnings which will be deducted by the consumer's recipient bank. This model, which will begin in Australia with our partner E-SAFE, will eventually migrate to the United States and to other countries who will then enjoy continual revenues from the instant taxation of players winnings," stated Thomas S. Hughes, Chairman and CEO of eConnect. eConnect is made up of two Divisions: eGaming, which is focused on the development of both Internet and non Internet gaming transactions through the implementation of Same-as-Cash(TM) payments by either ATM card and PIN for banked consumers and by the EzyCard TM for non banked consumers. Both types of transactions are enabled by proprietary eConnect equipment and Host processor. eGate, the second Division, has both Internet and non Internet business applications and is focused on three areas of ecommerce business: 1. The development of secure Same-as-Cash Internet transactions; 2. EzyShop, the usage of the eConnect equipment to generate self serviced purchases from consumers sitting in waiting rooms and shopping from national catalogs; and 3. EzyCard, a value added card to be used by non banked consumers using the publicly located eConnect equipment to effect self service bill payment, catalog purchases, and legally permitted self service lottery transactions.

Kimberly, I hope you had a chance to pick up some ADOT when I recommended it a week or so ago. Looks like it is about to explode. And I still think STMP's current price will turn out to look absurdly cheap in hindsight in about a month from now (assuming the whole market doesn't collapse which you never can predict).
