-Hi Dealie This is going to be an all encompassing message 'cause I just called my local Cable guy to find out why my computer was so slow and he said that they had a router go down and doesn't know how long it will take to fix it. So, first question to you and all: 1. What alternatives are there to cable for really fast internet access - I can't go back to dial up. There has to be another alternative to cable. Whatever it is, I'll buy shares in it. 2. I'm so upset, I forgot what the second thing is. 3. The reason for posting you anyway Dealie was to say that it looks like I might have started something and you'll just have to change your name from "dealer" to "dealie". Ifn I can get back on later, I will. love Rosie

AFTERHOURS QUOTES and The Earnings Announcement dates EARNINGS REPORTING DATES JDSU......7/26 CREE......7/27 Voltaire's Porch Basket of Stocks These Stock Have Not Been Picked By Any One Individual GORILLA--A company that controls it market because it has a discontinuous innovation ,one that is not compatible with existing systems. The market is in a hyper growth stage, and they control the architecture. There is a high switching cost to using some other company's product, KING--The Market leader, properly with a two-times lead or better over its closest competitor. If the lead shrinks too far, the king becomes a prince, and we have a kingless market. Because they lack architectural control, and because switching costs are low, they cannot force competitors onto the defensive the way Microsoft, Intel, or Cisco can. Compaq is a king. Seagate is a king of hard drives. A lot of study has been done on these stocks by the Gorilla and Kings thread.
