DDIM yes, I have this at 9. When bot this last trade at nine, I thought I knew the fundamentals, and was confident it would move back into the 20's fairly easy. WRONG. It is now 1.50. The reports that came out after my last entry were horrible. This all during the past year. anyways, some good news out today ... could put it on the quote.coms top ten gainers (guessing) if the momo crowd starts to hype it. So worth watching today for flips. The chart had gone flat the last week .... this I am pretty sure is one of the pre-requisites for a momo play. I would hazard a guess that it could go to +1/4 or +3/8 today. But if the momo crowd does not get on it, it may do nothing. possible revenue for the coming Quarter ....... biz.yahoo.com Wednesday October 6, 5:00 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Data Dimensions, Inc. Data Dimensions Announces Completion of Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) Assessment for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Data Dimensions, Inc. (Nasdaq: DDIM - news) today announced that it has completed a HIPAA readiness assessment for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska. The assessment followed a four-prong compliance framework developed by Data Dimensions which helps healthcare organizations determine their state of readiness and determine the scope of their HIPAA compliance efforts. HIPAA was enacted in August of 1996 and was essentially designed to improve ''portability'' of health insurance as insureds move from one employer to another and to improve administration of the healthcare industry. The Administrative Simplification provisions of HIPAA mandate electronic information exchange for the industry, including claims processing, by the end of 2002 and provides the framework for that to be accomplished. ''Just as the Year 2000 problem is a business issue and not just an information technology issue, the HIPAA Administrative Simplification requirements affect every entity that exchanges healthcare data electronically. Organizations will have to examine their e-business strategies in light of the new requirements and determine how they want to work with their stakeholders and trading partners. The assessment provides Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska with data upon which they can base critical business decisions and ensure they have ample time to leverage HIPAA strategically,'' said Diana Haramboure, vice president of healthcare with Data Dimensions. ''Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska is committed to serving our customers and providers by consistently developing and delivering cost-effective products in the healthcare financing marketplace. We believe that HIPAA is one of the most significant challenges facing healthcare companies today. We want to make sure that we are ready and that we are even better able to serve our stakeholders as a result of our HIPAA implementation,'' said Terry Groves, senior vice president of Information Services for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska. ''We have worked closely with Data Dimensions on our Year 2000 project and felt that their knowledge of our applications and processing environment, coupled with their healthcare knowledge and experience made them a logical choice to perform our HIPAA assessment. We believe the work performed by Data Dimensions will help us to make HIPAA implementation decisions going forward,'' said Groves.

Aw shucks. We have something else in common. Nite. My TA is more qualitative than quantitative (although I have some ideas on how to add additional quantifiable parameters to TA based on engineering analysis). I have spent my whole career as an engineer plotting dynamic data and trying to make sense out of those wiggles. As I mentioned on the PPRO board I've made $$$ off NITE on the way up and down. I'm not quite ready to agree re. a breakout on technicals. While the oscillatory amplitudes are tightening, it sure hasn't moved much off its low yet. Not so long ago it recovered back to 40 briefly then immediately fell all the way back to the low. I will agree that the 28 floor seems to be pretty solid, but methinks that a big move up, if it occurs will be more on fundies than technicals. The following is what I think will actually move NITE bigtime: 1) Most of the insider shares from lockup expiration have gotten back into circulation (Now, that would be a good piece of info to know). 2) NASDAQ volume and volatility is shown to be actually increasing (this week is a good start) and projected to be increasing again into the new year (a fair amount of sentiment now that Y2k is already discounted for and is going to be largely a non-event). 3) The market finally has a better understanding of how NITE is going to fit into the looming online trading free-for-all and will have a strong role. So for now I'm back to watching and ST plays. Assuming good answers for longs on the above, I would expect EGRP to also benefit greatly, because it can take advantage of any MM. Its volume is WAAAY up the past few days and its been really hammered. OTOH it is facing more competition as the traditional brokers wake up to online. However, as in EBAY so far and would-be competition, EGRP is looking like a brand name. Further, like BBN so far--a co. I like to shop at on- and offline since I like the stores--the traditional brokers are going to have a devil of a time figuring out whether they are fish or fowl. Any thoughts on ZDZ and TSCM? Both well off their highs and have been basing. TSCM made a move today. How about PPRO and NSIL? I'm still in both cos. Primarily as a position for coming out of quiet period, but also for the fact that they seem like real cos with real products and sales. All for now. My PRSW is really stinky. Not the slightest sign of life.
