(Some of these I sold for a profit, and some I hate to say I sold for a loss!) I have recently bought DLK...a wireless company that has been compared to AETH. Just FYI...here is an article that compares AETH to DLK. Libbyt NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Shares of DataLink.net Inc. (DLK) set a 52-week high for the fifth consecutive day Tuesday, trading up more than 30% as investors continued to pour money into wireless-data-product companies. DataLink.net, based in San Jose, Calif., began trading on the American Stock Exchange in late December and has seen its stock rise from less 7 to more than 38 in the past two months. "The price of the stock has risen dramatically," said William Mahan, chief financial officer. "We've seen some institutional investors come in. We've had an imbalance of orders the last two openings." DataLink.net sells a service that provides real-time stock quotes and price quotes on consumer goods to customers' pagers and cellular phones. The company is similar to Aether Systems Inc. (AETH), which has seen its stock price climb 341% from 41 to more than 181 in the last four months. It is currently trading at 179 1/8. Both companies provide real-time links to Web-based information, a market expected to explode in the next few years as wireless handsets and the Internet converge. Shares of DataLink.net recently traded at 36 1/8, up 8 3/4 or 33.1% on volume of 1.1 million compared with average daily volume of 241,000.
