Best thing, he tell's you that up front Most ot the time. Sometimes I just get cryptic and make you do the work yourself. Darn tempted by Hi/Fn this morning. 60 points off in two days is a bit much on an adjustment of inventory of the two largest customers. It would be different it they were losing the customers, but... ----- Dave

Lichello "University" Hi Keith, I talked with a person on the phone last night for an hour about AIM. A friend had given him my number and web address. This person started the conversation with, "I've been all over your site and don't see how you charge for the information there. I don't get it, why did you do it?" Well, I learned early on that I was not cut out for teaching - except to those who want to listen to me!!! I remember being an uninterested student! I certainly wouldn't have wanted ME in my class!! Anyway, I do get paid for spreading my manure here and at the web site each week. I get paid with great ideas, feedback on my own stuff and some valuable stock picks. How much more could I be paid? Personally I think the internet has much more potential than being the "Sam's Club" of the world. I don't mind that it's also a commercial environment, but believe it has the possibility of being "The World University" where we can study to our heart's content those subjects that most interest us. One of the best classes I had in college was an upper level business/economics class. In it we sat and listened to tapes of Samuelson and Friedman expound upon their own views of how the world's economics should be run. We then discussed and debated how such divergent thinking could exist, the roots of the differing views, the merits, potential and shortfalls of each. It was compare and contrast. It was wonderful. It solidified my own thinking. Thank you Professor Dean, wherever you are! It was just chance that I stumbled upon Mr. Lichello's book in '85. It was coincidence that his methods were not that far off of my own "cash hoarding" practices. It was a complete waste of time trying to find ANYONE that had ever read his book besides myself - until the internet! Finally I found others that knew what I was talking about! I'd handed out dozens of copies of the book to friends hoping that I'd eventually have someone else to talk with about AIM!! Only a few actually read it and even fewer acted upon their new knowledge. It was "here" in the world of electronic communication that an actual group of users was formed. Again, it was a group willing to gather for mutual benefit, debate and learning that actually worked. My trying to force-feed AIM to unwilling "students" was not worth the effort. I applaud all who are here now and all who have participated off and on since I started this "class" in 1993. We moved this board to Silicon Investor in 1997 as Prodigy was struggling to keep afloat. It was "free" here then. I am sad that SI's not still a free service, but at least it is free for reading. Prodigy's bulletin boards couldn't be accessed by non-members, so SI's still a better home. I've looked at Yahoo's boards, but still don't have the hang of them. My latest AAII publication lists dozens of boards available but only one with its primary focus as "Message Boards" and that's SI. We may have to move again someday, but I've become "comfortable" here for now. Well, that's enough manure for one message!!! Best regards, Professor Veale

Hi LH, I have been doing a little research on GNSS and noticed a lot of insider selling. However, that could be nothing more than the founders, etc. cashing in some chips. I don't know much about the technology that GNSS is involved in, and why it might have great prospects; however, on the surface, checking out GNSS compared to ATYT, the latter seems like a better buy to my layman's way of thinking. What am I missing? AIMing to become a QuadII AIMer, Jack
