Rod Someone sent this to me last night and I thought you might find it interesting. Digital Island, Inc. (ISLD) offers a global network and related services for companies that are using the Internet to deploy key business applications worldwide. Its services make it easier for companies to globalize their operations and to provide a higher quality of service and more functions than on the public Internet. The company targets corporations that are increasingly relying on the Internet to conduct business, but are constrained by its unreliability, slow performance and limited range of functions. Stockwinners.com is currently hearing rumors that good news may soon surface regarding this company. Additionally, we see today's weakness in ISLD shares as a buying opportunity. The firm boasts such customers as AOL, Sun Microsystems, Inktomi and Rythms Netconnections. The company recently completed its merger with Sandpiper Networks, a move viewed positively by the Street. Sales during the most recent quarter increased 432.27 percent, when compared to the year-ago period. Brokers recommend shares with four "strong buys" and two "moderate buys". Over the past year, ISLD has traded within the following range: $8 5/8 to $156 15/16. ISLD last traded at $107. If you decide to invest, use a stop-loss of $97. (1/4/00)
