I went to a survey last night concerning Etrade. There were over 400 people involved in this survey. Each person received $100/cash at the end of the survey. Total wise, Etrade probably spent nearly $100,000 to do this survey. I thought it was the biggest waste of money Etrade could have done. I am an Etrade customer. I am not totally happy with their service, but I am too lazy to go looking for other services. I won't say any more on the issue........ I will just let your imagination run away with you. Go get some sleep!!!! Cheers RG

More MM stuff: I have been watching a particular stock very closely for the last 3 days... It has an effective float of only 1.5M shares and is trading in the .15 area. The company has a real business and is fully reporting. I have watched in excess of 90K shares be accumulated in the last two days. Everytime someone hits the offer, it moves up .02 and sits there for a while then drops back down on no volume. Point is, accumulation of a stock means nothing if there are phantom shares being sold. MMs seem content to sit there and sell a ton of shares at a given price. We have a Merry-Go-Round with the SEC, MMs and investors and it is the investors who lose time and time again. The SEC gets their man, The MMs rake in the money because no one is watching them and the investor gets left behind again. Tom
