William, I have beenout of the market a long time now and am looking a small re-entry some time soon. Can you tell me why you think CITI is a good option as a potential rat dog. Thanks, Hally

Nice INVN news today. Explosives Detection Leader InVision Technologies Testifies Before Congressional Subcommittee on Aviation WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2001-- Executive outlines InVision's role in the fight against terrorism, calls for stable commitment to reducing threat of explosives in checked baggage and for accelerated deployment of FAA-certified explosives detection systems Frederick F. Muntz, vice president of Americas for InVision Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:INVN - news), testified today before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Aviation. He called for a sustained commitment to fund the deployment of explosives detection systems (EDS) in U.S. airports and outlined the company's ability to meet the challenge for increased production of its CTX systems. He also called for an acceleration of the FAA's plan to implement 100 percent scanning of checked baggage by 2009. InVision is the technology leader for aviation security, providing FAA-certified detection equipment for explosives determined to be a threat to civil aviation by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Academy of Science. Its CTX product line, based on computed tomography (CT) technology similar to that used in medical imaging, is used on a portion of checked baggage loaded onto airplanes in the United States. In a prepared statement, Muntz reiterated InVision's proven role as a national resource and its commitment to the fight against terrorism on behalf of the flying public. ``It is with heavy heart that I am here today representing some 350 InVision employees in the wake of the terror attacks of September 11. All of us at InVision are committed to providing the aviation community the finest products and services available to protect the traveling public against terrorism.'' Muntz outlined the evolution of InVision and its EDS products, spurred by the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 by explosives packed in checked baggage. The ensuing Aviation Security Act of 1990 required the FAA to identify, develop and certify a technology capable of detecting all classes of explosives that pose a threat to civil aviation. The FAA and the National Academy of Science reviewed technologies and the requirements for an EDS and determined that CT was a proven technology capable of meeting or exceeding the strict and challenging certification standards. InVision's CTX system was the first FAA-certified EDS in 1994 and is only one of two FAA-certified systems today. InVision's equipment is now in 61 airports worldwide and represents more than 95 percent of all FAA-certified EDS deployed worldwide. The 1996 TWA 800 crash reinvigorated interest in EDS, but the subsequent determination of mechanical failure softened the national resolve to minimize aviation threats. Despite what Muntz called ``an erosion in EDS funding and a compromised commitment to secure checked baggage'' after the TWA determination, InVision continued to invest heavily in research and development to improve its products and services. Muntz cited several of InVision's benchmarks of success, which include: Provided for the installation of more than 135 CTX systems domestically and over 250 worldwide; Reduced the cost of annual maintenance contracts by more than 40 percent; Reduced the number of alarms that required operator examination by almost one half; Introduced product upgrades funded solely by InVision; Produced the worlds fastest EDS in the CTX 9000DSi that has been certified by the FAA to scan up to 542 bags per hour and features the largest aperture available to facilitate integration into baggage handling systems; and Self-funded and introduced a cost reduced, smaller product in the CTX 2500 most applicable to smaller airports and stations with reduced throughput requirements. ``InVision as a national resource has earned its place in our country's arsenal to protect the traveling public,'' Muntz said. ``InVision continues to make at-risk purchases of long lead items and manufactures finished products in good faith and in anticipation that our government and the aviation community will support a comprehensive response to terrorism. InVision stands ready to serve. It is now time for our country to stabilize this critical national resource, address the checked baggage vulnerability once and for all and provide for an accelerated, sustained rate of CTX installations in our nation's airports,'' Muntz said.

William, I was thinking the same thing as Boyd about getting back into VISG if it reaches $7.50 before a bounce or CPHD at $4.75 for a short covering bounce. Of course not really a ratdog play. What did you mean by the shorts smelling blood? John

Ok, gonna try and add some Rat dogs to look at. I ran a volume scan tonight and over 87 stocks had 6x 45 day average, 48 of those closed in top 1/2 of days range. Some that look kinda interesting in the rat dog arena NTWO PCOM -- 5th day in a row of this type of volume CMDL INSN -- Significantly higher volume for the last 5 days CNLG -- Strong buying since August My record with the small stuff is not too good. I'm much better at the High volume, High priced, Highly volatile stocks but charts are starting to look really vertical so I guess it's a grab them while you can type of deal. FT
