NETP and CNQR Comments on entering NETP today?? Be careful with CNQR - too jumpy for me. I was in and out of CNQR just in time to make a little money. It is dropping quickly now. (As I am typing, it seems to be coming back.) Rande, I am interested also in your comments on amtd and egrp. Will they run like last year, or should we expect a pull back. Thanks all. Paullie

. . . .Online Brokerages. . . . We bought AMTD near $15 and EGRP near $20. . .they have served us well. Today we saw upgrades of the entire OLB sector. . .and all stocks have responded. Near-term, I think we will see continued gains in the sector. . .until the sell-off. November is a big month for new investors funding their new brokerage accounts, so they can lose most of their hard earned money, by trading before they are ready. That will be reflected by reports from brokerages soon enough. . .so I think the top is still a ways off. We discussed adding the big brokers to our baskets. The gotta haves, like NITE, AMTD, EGRP, NDB, TWE, etc. have been incredible and have lived up to my predictions of 3 or 4 weeks ago. . . The smaller issues like SIEB, JBOH, MHMY, NATS, etc. have not yet been played as speculative rockets. . . and I do expect that to happen. Remember the day after Thanksgiving? Funny thing about that list of low floaters. . . NATS is the cheapest and has the smallest float by a long shot . . .just 600,000 shares. . . yet it is bigger than SIEB. . .NATS [Olympic Cascade] has 38 offices in 18 states. . .and sales of 39.4 million. . .with a price to sales ratio of . . . are you sitting down? . . . . "0.13" The book value is $2.29. . . Cash per share is $30.55. . .Sales per share is $26. . . there are only 1.69 million shares TOTAL OUTSTANDING and 600 thousand publicly traded. At that price, 2.4 million bucks buys the entire float [provided shareholders are willing to sell. . which I doubt] The best part is that the website is finished and was posted here over the weekend. . . . . .I don't know how they found it. . . I guess it was discovered sometime last week. . .but not posted anywhere. . . when the daytraders find this info out, they will have a field day. . . The fact that the website is open and online tells me that very soon, we should be seeing news out that NATS has become an online brokerage for the first time. . .[a very efficient way to trade shares]. .. .they could be waiting on their financials to be completed, before making their announcement.. . financials are due NOW! Do I need to say that loading to boat near 4 is probably a lucrative thing to do? SEC FILINGS: biz.yahoo.com Remember that trading any volatile stock is extremely risky, since the bid can fluctuate wildly. NATS, like any stock under $5, is considered a penny stock. Trading penny stocks should be considered gambling. . . .[same goes for XYBR. . .whoops, I guess it is over 6 now. . .well, it did]. . .please use caution and only trade penny stocks to the amount you are willing to lose.
