I'm here and am long too! Haven't bought or sold a share in six months, and am content with my current position. RB is a joke, there are several paid clowns there who have turned that board into @%$#. It's fun to read if you need a laugh, but that's about all it's worth. I hope this board becomes more active as WINR starts to rise, hopefully any day now?? Take care WINR longs, it is only a matter of time before this company appreciates to the level it deserves...

Does anyone think WINR has a part in this area? Certainly sounds like it would be up their alley. WINR wasn't mentioned. businessweek.com (PART OF STORY,) BUSINESSWEEK ONLINE : OCTOBER 25, 1999 ISSUE INTERNATIONAL -- FINANCE Online Banks Invade Europe (int'l edition) Bricks-and-mortar players are caught off guard British bankers sniffed when London's Prudential Assurance Co. set up an Internet bank called Egg last year. Even if the name didn't deter customers, they figured, the insurer's lack of retail banking knowhow surely would. Eighteen months later, it's the skeptics who have egg on their faces. The Pru's new bank has scooped up more than $13 billion in deposits, about a 1% market share. Worse yet, its Net-savvy clients are young and wealthy: desirable and profitable customers with fat balances averaging $30,000, vs. the paltry $5,000 in a typical deposit account at an old-line bank. Now, once-scornful rivals are scrambling to catch up with Egg and other startups. Barclays Bank PLC, National Westminster Bank PLC, and others that dominate Britain's High Street are running scared and eagerly promoting their own online services, offering everything from bill payment to stock trading and lending. ''There's a growing feeling that the newcomers could demolish the big banks,'' says David Lascelles, a director at the Center for the Study of Financial Innovation in London.
