Would have to agree with you on MMPT. There is no reason for it having broke it's 52-week low today. I doubled my position today (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14417134) and I will buy more along with you under $5. It's float is smallish. When it reverses, shorts will be tripping all over themselves to find that tiny exit door. I can hear them now, "yikes!".

Market Update: Drew some lines on the SPX. The index is sitting at a couple of critical points. pages.cthome.net And a close up.... pages.cthome.net The RED Trend is the Oct99/Mar00 trend line. Yellow Line (1420) was Resistance for July99 & November99, and then support for July 00 dip. Back further, you can see the 1420 line can be moved from up or down VERY quickly. Purple Line is for reference, the Dec'99 Close. Watching Crude, and the Euro closely. The index looks bound for some extreme volatility, but which way???

Think of the potential for advertisers once e-government becomes a reality From FCW.com Survey: Ads better than fees BY Dibya Sarkar 09/21/2000 RELATED STORIES Public Opinion Strategies National Survey [EgovNet, Sept. 5-10, 2000] "States not tapping Internet’s potential" [civic.com, Sept. 15, 2000] "Study: E-gov can’t stop now" [civic.com, Sept. 1, 2000] Americans would rather see advertising on government Web sites than be charged convenience fees, according to a national survey just released. Fifty-six percent of registered voters in the survey released by eGovNet, a Columbus, Ohio-based e-government and advertising network provider, supported the use of "appropriate" advertising while 23 percent said they’d rather pay user fees for government Internet services. "Appropriate" was defined as ads of goods and services legally available to users of all ages. The random, national telephone survey of 642 voters, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies from Sept. 5 to 10, tried to measure the attitudes of users "about funding e-government initiatives with advertising on government Web sites, convenience or user fees and with tax dollars." Of those surveyed, 60 percent said they access the Internet or send and receive e-mail. "The bottom line is there is a real demand for e-government services. Then the question always becomes, If we’re going to provide for these services, how are we going to pay for it?" said Jon Allison, eGovNet’s director of professional licensure services and the coordinator of the survey. Although a "very small number" of governments are actually doing it, Allison said advertising on government sites is a viable, alternative-funding method. The survey also found that: * Two-thirds of the voters surveyed who go online support advertising on government Web sites rather than paying a user fee. * Given a choice, 47 percent of all respondents said governments should charge convenience fees rather than using tax dollars for online services. Twenty-eight percent supported tax-dollar use. * More than 60 percent of all respondents agreed that it’s okay for governments to use advertising to reduce the amount of tax dollars needed to provide online services. * Sixty-six percent of all respondents said government decisions to allow such ads make no difference in their willingness to use online services.
