Jim, When someone does things that are of question and never gives a rational answer to those questions raised, that person must live with questions from them on. I for one will never 100% trust ANYTHING Steve has to say or do again. I didn't use to think like that, Steve made me this way with his actions. As for an analyst who can move a stock (NETP), I think people have to hear that information to react (eg you need a Briefing.com account). AOL and SI carried no news on NETP on the 30th that would of moved the stock, that's a good chunk of investors right there. Few analysts can move a stock when people don't know what they said. And let's be honest, an analyst working for a firm is often just a paid hypester and that's why few of them do move a market. Anything Steve does will be viewed by many with questions. That's Steve's fault not mine. That's what happens when you do something that causes a lot of questions and you answer the questions with what is not in print. Mr. Harmon dug this mistrust hole for himself with his own actions. And BTW, I didn't say it was a leak or conspiracy. Both you and Mr. Harmon should get your facts straight. Have a nice day, BLUE

Nice to see such diverse and lively 'virtual conversations' to start the new Millenuium. I for one paid for his list for the following reasons: 1. He is a well respected analyst with a large following. 2. I expected to receive the list Sunday night to give me time to research the companies. The release on Friday gives me more time - correct? 3. I did not expect to jump in to ten stocks blindly on Monday morning. I can do that by myself (former DT here) 4. I would never have posted the list as I would consider that a violation of copywrite and tos. (also stupid) Why give away what I pay for. I did not pay for the list for the following reasons: 1. To see if I could get in 'pre-market' and beat the herd. 2. For a few quick points if I could buy pre-market (which I can if I so desire) 3. These were supposed to be investments for the Year 2000 NOT DAYTRADES FOR JAN 3 !! I may or may not buy some or all of these as I already own NETP, SCOC, CNET, CMGI all bought without his "list".FWIW I 'shared ' the cost of the list with my father and brother-in-law so I'm only out $33. Last thought , I feel it would be almost more reckless and irresponsible to release the list pre-market or early am Monday and then encourage everyone to rush in and buy, buy, buy ..Mortimer we're ruined (sorry I couldn't resist) Hope everyone has a safe and great New Year and good luck. Remember - the road to ruin is lined with yesterday's pundits.
