Jim Oily, I'll look into it. The kid behind the wheel makes me nervous as an investor. At 29, the CEO only just recently began shaving. Has his voice become lower since his nads dropped? Kids his age are usually still busy hacking computers and downloading MP3's and DVD's... <Jus' kiddin'...> Are they getting out of the slot machine business? It would make their company look like less of a gamble if they did. <rimshot!> But then perhaps there is a strong market for used slot machines in Columbia and Peru. I didn't read much about the company but the stuff they have on Yahoo makes me a little nervous. Got any links that would make me more interested? If I had a choice between them and RTK, I'd think the latter has a better story, perhaps. How'd you hear about NWAY? On a different topic... What do you think of the economist Ravi Batra? I've been reading some articles about him and find him to be an interesting dude. -ClappyTheEconomist

re: NWAY the best part is the extremely strong likelihood that a known oil/gas analyst will be promoting the stock very soon he will initiate coverage for NWAY with price target of $10 it is quietly trading at 1.9 now with slight volume i'd rather speculate on a stock on it's own merits than on the basis of the rumor of an upcoming snow job. this stock has a bit of a "fishy" smell given the dual roles of selling slot machines and developing oil/gas/coal. i've been watching it closely for the past 2 or 3 months when you first mentioned it. it was selling at 2.40 then... it's at 1.88 now... you never disclosed if you owned any. if you do, and if it goes up 28%... you'll be even. -polvs

13:28 ET Moody's ups AMZN; sees no cash need in 02 (AMZN) 15.12 +1.11 (+7.9%: -- Update -- Stock has continued to rise since earlier report of Moody's debt upgrade (see 10:44). Reuters reports that Amazon.com's senior unsecured debt rating was raised one notch to "B3," its sixth highest "junk" grade, from "Caa1," and its subordinated debt rating to "Caa2," its eighth highest junk grade, from "Caa3." Moody's estimates that the co has sufficient cash on hand to finance its operations for the medium term and will not be required to access the capital markets in 2002. Moody's said Amazon.com had improved sales volume and inventory management, and kept a lid on capital spending, and likely would not need to tap capital markets to fund operations for at least 24 months.
