Good going, but with the downgrade the other day, will you keep it? Now we are seeing the worst thing possible, and that is bailing from the market in the face of an ocean of liquidity. Pretty fun stuff if you happen to be on the correct side of the action<ggg> The NDX is in a big range, 2088 as the floor, 2820 as the top, at least from what I can see this at this point. I just posted some steps down on the NDX on the rat thread, if anyone is interested. Can anyone remember the names of the supposed experts that were touting CSCO at it's peak, always repeating the mantra that you must own some Cisco? Where is the customers money?

JIM: OMNY: Was trading around book value yesterday (It reportedly has $2,40 cash/share) Today opened on an up-gap with good increased volume.So far has not closed the gap and seems it is going to finish at its intra-day H. The next hurdle seems to me will be the Feb.5 H at 4 before it could try for the Jan.17 at 6.43 Any opinions? RAGL Bernard P.S. They expect to become cash flow + sooner than expected: PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2001--OmniSky Corporation (Nasdaq:OMNY - news), the award-winning provider of branded wireless e-mail and Internet services for users of mobile devices, today announced preliminary results for its fourth quarter, ended December 31, 2000. OmniSky expects to report fourth quarter revenue between $4.0 and $4.6 million, in line with projections published on the FirstCall/Thomson Financial service. EBITDA, or earnings/(loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is expected to be between ($34) and ($35) million, better than the consensus estimate of ($42) million. Net income/(loss) for the fourth quarter, including amortization of stock-based compensation, is expected to be between ($40) and ($42) million, or between ($0.60) and ($0.63) per share, better than the consensus estimate of ($48) million, or ($0.73) per share, data based on FirstCall consensus shares outstanding of 66.5 million. ``We are excited by our many accomplishments over the past year -- in particular, the launch of our wireless service for both the Palm and Microsoft PocketPC platforms and the recognition by many, including, most recently, Business Week, that our service has set the standard for the wireless sector,'' said Patrick McVeigh, chairman and CEO. ``Since our May service launch, we've experienced a six-fold increase in subscribers and we anticipate reporting approximately 34,000 subscribers at the end of our fourth quarter. More difficult retail conditions and a greater percentage of lower-end PDA models sold by hardware manufacturers in the last quarter that we did not support affected our subscriber growth in the fourth quarter.'' ``We continue to see enormous opportunity for wireless services on mobile devices,'' continued Patrick McVeigh. ``With the foundation we have built, we remain confident that we can take advantage of this burgeoning market. We intend to do this by further expanding our technology platform to include secure corporate e-mail, location-based services and advanced messaging, and by extending our model for delivering services through third parties.'' OmniSky also announced today that it has successfully renegotiated its airtime contracts with Verizon, AT&T, Cingular and Alltel Communications, immediately reducing its airtime costs by 40% and providing what OmniSky believes is one of the lowest cost, high-speed national data networks in the industry. Through this and other cost saving measures, the company now anticipates becoming gross margin positive by the third quarter of 2001, two quarters earlier than previously expected, and cash flow positive by the fourth quarter of 2002, one year earlier than expected. ``With the improvements we have made in our cost structure, we believe that we are on track to reach near-term profitability with continued momentum in subscriber growth,'' said Lawrence Winkler, senior vice president and CFO. ``The $120 million in cash and other investments we have on our balance sheet, along with anticipated vendor and partner financing, puts us in a solid position to execute against our business plan without additional financing from the public markets.''

JIM: TLCV: It has continued to do well and has appreciated 168% since it gave a buy signal on the daily chart at 2 on Jan.16 It is still selling around its reported book value and an analyst at P.W has it as a "strong buy" with a target of 20. Other 3 analysts are not as bullish and rate it a "hold". They have cut down the estimated earnings for the next Q. They are supposed to announce earnings on Jan.11. The CFO resigned last month.(Jan.19) Any opinions ? The Jan-Feb. double top last year was at the 19 level and the Mar. H 13.5 RAGL Bernard
