Dave, :> ...On the other hand anyone have any thoughts on today's trading... there are a couple of other choices but they seem to be a bit overplayed at this point, ICS and ILII...Don't get me wrong I am still long on JOT and waiting JOT Q4 (year end, which if I remember is either April 30 or May 31, 1998 (Win, Lose, or Draw)...when I look at ICS, yes there is potential, everyone thinks about MS and Windows CE, that's the trick to the market...something that sounds really hi-tech catches ones eye, eventhough the ability to have a library of pre-programmed functions (sub-routines) is nice, it is really not the "Cat's Nuts" (So, it may be presented in an Object Development Environment (Means you can develop quicker, get to Market quicker but, your product still may not be the best "Mouse Trap" on the market), lots of competition and alot of very creative minds may develop much more concice and efficient code...however, still is good for the quick ride, look at NNS... Enough of that, It's new and people do not understand it...now look at ILII, it's new, people have an immediate association with the TV version of QVC or the Home Shoping Channel...again, people do not really understand the reality of buying on the Internet , they just associate a concept...it is great for niche products... The same may be said for JOT, yet my feeling is we (the folks on the threads, have analyized this thing to "death", too much knowledge is as bad as no knowledge at all)... The best way to make this stock fly is to advertise, sure JOT's advertising will help, COMDEX will help, but what is needed is Public Recognition...Here's Flenty's idea at Stockhouse, and believe me it will have a major positive impact...write e-mails to the brokerage houses (World wide, ask if they have heard of this company, be polite), post messages to the Usenet groups on stocks (possibility of a good investment) and software/groupware news groups (what you have heard is great software being demonstrated at COMDEX , do not even mention Lotus, remember this product is sold by Sideware as a seperate product), e-mail all the Financial News Letters (tell them you sniff what may be a great deal (?)), etc... Now, if you folks want to really start a "Grass Roots" movement that will have a positive impact on your investment...quite worrying about the shorts...get off your DUFFS and become a little pro-active about your investment... Nuff said...Gator BTW, almost forgot that I am also long on SBI!!!!!!!
