Hands, I sent for an investors kit, but have yet to receive it. I'll take a good look at that time. What is BV, breakup value?

Hi Hands and Mike; Re PTEK, how do you get a positive PE? I checked MarketGuide: 'For the 9 months ended 9/30/00, revenues fell 3% to $332.5M. Net loss fell 77% to $20.9M. Results reflect decreased revenues from retail calling card services. Lower loss reflects a $59.5M gain on the sale of securities.' wsrn.marketguide.com The loss would have been 80.4M if you exclude that non-recurring gain. You may want to take a look at PSINet (PSIX) selling around $1. with annual revenues over $1 billion. Unfortunately losses are also over $1 billion <g>. wsrn.marketguide.com
