BTW- I didn't want anyone to misunderstand my previous message about XLA.

When I referred to XLA as a "scam", all I meant was that the executives and majority holders of XLA are con men who are front-running press releases on a non existant shell of a company that used to manage a hotel in the carribean as their only income source. Their one claim to fame, the Hewlett Packard "investment" is actually a promissory note that gives HP first dibs on any assets if they are unable to complete payment on those HP servers they just bought on credit that was extended with the hotel as collateral.

It is really amazing, the extent to which rampant fraud has become an integral part of our markets. The fraudsters today have discovered that they no longer even have to make a minimal effort to hide their activities! They know the SEC is understaffed- and the few staff who remain are hungrily looking for private sector jobs with the very companies they should be monitoring for compliance!

God Bless America!

>"I wouldn't touch her with *yours*!"
Kis, the above is not good, but do you know what the rebuttal is? I wouldn't touch mine with his.
The other thing I didn't point out was XLA was halted once again last Thursday. In the old economy any exchange would explain why. Over imbalance, SEC investigation, fraudulent accounting, shares to buy,shares to sell,etc,etc.
Why the American Stock Exchange doesn't make any kind of statement on why their stocks are halted anymore is beyond me.
Do you think that they don't give a shit anymore?

Woburn, Massachusetts, Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of Xcelera.com Inc. jumped 21 percent after it named a former EMC Corp. executive to head its Mirror Image unit, which helps accelerate the transmission of data over the Internet.

Xcelera.com shares rose 28 to 160. Xclera.com has gained more than 12,000 percent in the past 12 months, giving it a market value of $2.18 billion. It started the year at less than $20 million.

Mirror Image named Cosmo Santullo, 43, as its president and chief executive. Prior to joining Mirror Image, Santullo was president of EMC's e-Business Solutions Group, responsible for the group's sales, finance, engineering, strategy and operations as well as building its Web hosting outsourcing business.

``Our main focus is to get people to use our service,' said Santullo in an interview. He said he left EMC because it was a `` wonderful opportunity' to run his own company. He said there were no problems at EMC, the world's largest maker of data- storage systems.

Mirror Image should have about $1 million in revenue this year as it's just beginning to gain customers, Santullo said. Mirror Image speeds delivery of data over the Internet by using its servers and storage equipment to house information at various geographic points, putting it closer to many users.

``In a place like Disney World you have people picking up the trash' because the customer experience is important, said Charles Rutstein, an analyst at Forrester Research, a technology research company in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ``The same thing applies in the Internet. What people complain about most is the performance.'

Xcelera's Mirror Image competes with Akamai Technologies Inc., a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company that sells a service to Web sites to speed delivery of content. Akamai first sold shares to the public in October at $26 each and now has a market value of $25.5 billion. It had revenue of $1.29 million in the nine months ended Sept. 30.

``It's hard to see how (Akamai) will ever have revenue to support their current market cap,' said Rutstein. ``From a fundamental value, the service is quite useful. The difficulty is what's the valuation' that should be placed on companies such as Akamai and Mirror Image.

Shares of Akamai fell 9 9/16 to 281 7/16. EMC rose 1 7/8 to 101 3/16 in New York Stock Exchange trading.

Hewlett-Packard

Xclera.com shares surged earlier this week after it said Hewlett-Packard Co. will invest $32 million in it to help expand its distribution network. H-P will get about a 3 percent stake in Cayman Islands-based Xcelera, while its Mirror Image unit will use H-P servers and storage systems to enlarge its network.

Mirror Image hasn't talked to EMC about a using its services, although it's possible that Mirror Image could become an EMC customer and EMC could use Mirror Image's services, Santullo said.

Mirror Image's network of content-access points can deliver 75 percent of a customer's Internet traffic to end users at speeds as much as 10 times faster than traditional traffic flow.

Mirror Image, Akamai and other rivals are anticipating that as people get on the Internet at faster speeds, they'll demand quicker delivery of Web content.

The company's Mirror Image unit is based in Woburn, Massachusetts outside of Boston. Xcelera.com is a holding company that changed its name from Scandinavia Co. earlier this year. It also owns hotels, real estate and a Scandinavian music Web site called Deo.com.
