Yes, I'm happy to say that I now have 250 free shares of NSATF, but the evil MMs stopped me out of SGNT at 27. Norman, you were right. Anybody advise getting back in to SGNT?

Sure, NOW you join the NOIZ parade <<ggg>>. I was wondering why you didn't respond to my 13790 two days ago where I mentioned that our favorite innkeeper was high on NOIZ. Guess you missed it. Looks like at least a few others took note--including Jeff (No I'm NOT taking credit--a joke). Actually, I got in NOIZ (in my IRA account) right after Jeff posted. I think he came at his decision independently from my little "heads up" earlier, but when I saw him take the plunge, that, plus its strength in a very weak environment, was enough for me. So I did a "me too" and got in at 9 1/8. I tried to post as much, but JPS.net (a subsidiary of ONEM BTW), the ISP I was using at the time, has a nasty habit of knocking me offline at inopportune times. It sounds like you think there is some "there" there in NOIZ, not just a P&D. I hope our mutual innkeeper friend also made the plunge. He deserves it for a number of reasons, not the least of which, he did far more DD than I. He had reviewed the complete investor's package in great detail, then loaned it to me for bedtime reading. My res for Y2K (for investing anyway--I won't bore you w/all the other res's I'm making, or ought to <<ggg>>) is to be a bit more persistent, wo hype, on this thread if you don't mind, and to follow through my own ideas more vigorously. I did say here: KIDE was ripe for a short right before the awful Pokeman movie came out--it went from over 90 to 30's. ISLD in the 30's was a good sympathy play before AKAM IPO'd. It soon was in the 100's from the 30's. And of course NETP. Partly in my defense, I was going through the traumas w/ SCH and then the transition from it to DIR at the time. All done now and happy. I get good, quick executions, and ready to jump aboard the right IPO train. Thanks again to you, Richard. BTW, watch out for SCH. I pesonally wouldn't use it again for online trading unless I knew first hand it has its problems under control. The execution and confirmation problems more than negate the mostly wonderful Platinum team members and the new Velocity package. Sure you can call a live person if you are having troubles, but as often as not, your team member is as helpless as you (when you get through), since most of the problems (MM and margin department) occur on the other side of a firewall. SCH is ok for buy and hold types, but SCH has misrepresented itself as a viable tool for the active investor. Interestingly, I just got a notice over a class action settlement w/ SCH being proposed for the very problems I had. I don't know what the terms are, but it's obvious based on the bad experiences I had that the suit did not resolve the problems. The class action attorneys don't really care of course. They still get the bulk of the settlement before moving on to the next target. I will say SCH is a master at advertising and marketing. Great ads. Jim
