VBroady: I've been on the odd ISP thread including AOL and asked the question "who is the 1st to offer the world free Internet" and the answer has always been FREESERVE. They are told it's X-STREAM but no one has heard of it. The company, X-Stream shareholders, newspaper reporters - none seem to be interested in spreading the word. Over the last few months, this stock has doubled a few times and dropped back. It's a great way to make money. I lost a pile not playing that game with Bid.com. But then one day Bid.com, when it doubled from $3 to $6/share and most of the crowd bailed out waiting for the fall back to $3, most got left out and I was still there. It jumped $10.00 that day and $7.00 the next and hit a high a few days later of $33.70/share. Not bad for a stock in and around $2.50-$4.00/sh I saw on the CY thread (Post#2225) that Canada's largest independent Internet service provider (ISP) entered into an amalgamation with a large company (LOOK). IDX:VSE shares are in the range of US$3.35/share to US$5.00/share and NOTE: Internet Direct ltd. (IDX) direct.com only have 142,000 subscribers. CY is Canada's largest free ISP and they have about 120,000 subscribers. So you never know when a company like X-stream can take us all off guard with an amalgamation. Maybe even a joint ventures with a few other top UK free Internet companies that, when you combine them with X-streams's 430,000 ++ subscribers, could knock FreeServe out of 1st place with their 1.3 million UK subscribers. After Labor Day Look out. Did you all see in the London Sunday Times the report "INTERNET SHOPPERS SPEND,SPEND,SPEND". --Looks like Shopping on line is starting to BOOM.--I'd say it has to be good for a company like X-Stream in the advertising game, and this type of advertising on the Internet is "ONLY ONE CLICK AWAY FROM A TRANSACTION".!! Wait tell that word get's out.!!
