RAMP another DSL play - nice move today. Been buying since $12. Given a S. Buy today by analyst. Monday November 15, 5:00 pm Eastern Time Ramp Networks outlines DSL growth strategy NEW YORK, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Ramp Networks Inc. (NasdaqNM:RAMP - news), which develops Internet access products for businesses, said on Monday it plans to spend up to $1.5 million per quarter to grow its high-speed services to a third of its revenue stream, up from the single digit percentage it now holds. The company did not provide any additional figures. Ramp Networks Chief Executive Mahesh Veerina told Reuters the company would use various types of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology to give high-speed access to its customers. DSL technology, which takes advantage of unused capacity on existing phone lines, allows customers to use a single line to send faxes of make phone calls while surfing the Internet. Veerina said the company's three types of customers, small businesses, large corporations, and telecommuters or people working from home offices, would benefit from the DSL offerings. ``With DSL, we see...all three getting impacted,' he said in a telephone interview. Ramp Networks is scheduled to be shipping the four different types of DSL technologies it plans to use by the end of the second quarter next year, Veerina said. The company is also planning on expanding its overseas operations in Europe, Asia and Latin America, which currently make up about 30 percent of its revenues. Veerina said he targeted the international businesses to generate about 50 percent of the company's revenue one year from now. The international expansion will focus on the company's traditional product offerings, such as analog online connections and Internet voice technology, Veerina said.

update on my Chinese momo fiasco with TRAC. Spoke with a supervisor a few minutes ago and was told that even though I cancelled my order yesterday, and the order was removed from my MyTrade screen, they have the right to execute anyway. As long as it's done before the market open the next day, IE. today. It's only a small loss ($1200) but it's the principle of their operation that I don't like. IMO, it's just bad business to completely alienate someone like me who will pay them $3000 this month in trades and services. This should serve as a warning to all momo players that if they use MyTrade they may be stuck owning something and not know it until the next day. Of course by then the stock has tanked and you're the one left holding the bad. I'm disappointed in TRAC, I really thought they were different. :( IC (glad I still have my other brokers)
