Rande, Do you follow Oxford Health Plans (OXHP)? They seem to be trading near their lows around this time last year. They've run in the 14 to 20 range most of the year in between. Recent scare of lawsuits have weighed heavy on HMO's. Might be good for a couple points here at this level around 11. Seems they are getting some speculation of takeover rumors. Over $4 book value, but has a LOT of shares OS. KT

Rande, LTNX - Lintronic Interesting company and will be in the right business at the right time. Now I understand how B2B will really work on the net - SMART CARDS! This company has been beaten up for a long time, but now may be the right time to get in. book value at around 1.75, and around 10M shares outstanding. Had announcement today at a Microsoft Business conference. Trading at near annual low - around $5, but already had a move up today. It needs some volume to propel it upward from here. But I have no doubt that it will be trading much higher in weeks to come.
