I thought I would mention to everyone that I just bought a lot of NUKO for the long term at 1 1/4, (http://www.nuko.com) a major patent holder of MPEG2 technology. The recent market crash has put this stock at a very attractive price. NUKO is probably one of the best values on the market nowadays. From their web page, "NUKO is a leading provider of products and solutions for Digital Video Networking." The thing I found about this company that was particularly enamoring was their collection of partners. They are partnered with ADC, Cisco, Northern Telecom, and PacBell. Their technology both looks great, and from an SI newsthread is "expensive, but has the best quality in the industry." 1998 will be the year of MPEG-2 and NUKO, in my opinion is a leading vendor of MPEG-2 technology. I wouldn't bet the farm on them, as it is a high-risk issue and they have some financial problems, but this might be one of those few great plays. See their web page at nuko.com.

Steven, the relative strength is a strength factor within a category. It was developed by Bill O'Neill (Investors Business Daily). Stocks move up and down within the category based on their performance. A stock that has an RS of 99 means that (according to O'Neill) that it is a popular stock and has performed very well in the past - and is still a popoular stock for investors. There is also a relative strength for EPS and it ranks companies based on there earnings within a category. We will be adding the EPS RS also. Not a great explanation, but Myron (our leader) will give you a better explanation if you ask him. Glad to have you.

Steven--I just talked to the education department of IBD, available to all subscribers,at 310-448-6150. I posed your question to them as you did -- 1. Stock (A) starts at 10, drops to 8 1/2 and then back to 10 1/2. and 2. Stock (B) starts at 10 and goes to 10 3/4. Which has the higher RS and why? The answer is that Stock A likely has if the 2 point rise came in the last 4 months, since the IBD definition of RS is the following: A measure of price performance of all stocks compared to each other over a 1 year period with a 40% weighting given to the last quarter. However, If all of Stock A's activity took place 5 months ago and Stock B moved from 10 to 10 3/4 last week,---well you figure it out. The math just got too much to do in my head. Anyways, I hope you get the drift. Myron
