the Insider Daily Fix Contributed by: George Stubos October 8, 1999 ActFit.com [ACTFF] – Want Results? Hire the Best. We have learned that ActFit CEO Richard Hue is said to be touring Europe on the first leg of a road show intended to drum up institutional support for ACTFF. Fund managers are a tough lot - pressing the flesh and spending face time go a long way to building relationships with a company. Over the next week a hectic meeting schedule is planned with the intention of securing a significant financing for ActFit.com. We have also learned that ActFit has recently engaged a firm called Edelman PR to represent them. A visit to the Edelman website at www.edelman.com The Insider should point out that the Edelman PR firm is one of the true heavyweights in that business, one that can get things done for a public company and make introductions that very few others could. That ACTFF was taken on as an Edelman client demonstrates that this Insider Report favorite is not going to disappear off the radar screen. It's a slam-dunk that Edelman is able to open many doors with the major media and ACTFF will get the kind of exposure that they have been gearing up for and deserve. thewebinvestor.com

Does anyone know if this is true?: "To prevent your own shares from borrowed by some market maker or brokerage firm against your position on a stock, the easiest way is to put Good Till Canceled (GTC) sell order after purchasing a stock. Let's say you have bought 2,000 shares ABC stock at $0.50 per share. Then you place a GTC sell order for 2,000 shares at $2. Thus, your brokerage firm often doesn't lend your shares out. You can always change the order to sell a price which you wish." If this is true, then we all need to do this to see if it will work... Tom
