Stocks now on my radar looking like they are ripe for a rise include RCOM, VLTS, SQNM, and CORI. Again, however, I will say that the market is well due for a pullback. Until it does, I will keep playing on the long side... but yes, I still hold a ss position on THQI and EBAY (Goldman Sux can get stuffed)... waiting for the Christmas buzz to end.

Heavy Investment In CRM Predicted From Financial Institutions Nov. 26, 2001 Retail financial institutions will spend about $4.3 billion on CRM globally in 2001, with $2.2 billion of that coming from North American businesses, according to research from the TowerGroup. By Jennifer Maselli Financial institutions will continue to rely heavily on customer-relationship management applications to drive revenue in coming years, according to research firm the TowerGroup. Retail financial institutions will spend about $4.3 billion on CRM globally in 2001, with $2.2 billion of that coming from North American businesses, according to research from the TowerGroup's retail banking services. That kind of spending is expected to drive a compound annual growth rate of 6% for the CRM industry between 2001 and 2005. The TowerGroup expects retail financial institutions to focus on customer-knowledge technologies that include data warehousing, analytics, and knowledge distribution. Customer knowledge distribution technologies, which account for about 19% of the CRM market, are expected to expand more rapidly than the CRM technologies, with 7.8% compound annual growth predicted through 2005. The research included campaign management and database marketing software as well as personalization software that directs personalized messages at specific customers or customer segments.
