Some random thoughts (directed to nobody in particular) BARRONS: Sony is 2 1/2 years behind.. enough said. The author is obviously jealous of the of people who have made a ton of money on this stock... DRILLERS / OIL It's important to be careful here. These stocks are mistaken for growth stocks when in fact they are really cyclicals. You must buy these when everyone hates them. GLM was the 2nd stock I ever owned, and I bought it for 3 3/8! At the time, people HATED oil! GAMBLERS RUIN The gist of this theory (and how it pertains to us here) is that a gambler will always leave the casino broke, even if the odds are 50/50. If a gambler plays long enough, he (she) will eventually hit a losing streak so long that he (she) will go broke. The gambler will always go home empty. (you know exactly what I'm talking about! Most people don't leave the table when they are ahead.. They'll wait until they lose all their money, then leave!) Traders can fall into this trap. They keep 'playing' for greater and greater stakes until eventually the 'big loss' occurs which erases years of gains, at which point they swear off stocks forever. Discipline is key! have fun! kp

Gary , Re:>>All I want is a freakin cable modem<< This is the modem that catches my eye . You need only one line for voice and internet at the same time . <Snip> FastInternetT is a Digital Subscriber Line Multiplexer system providing direct high speed data connectivity over existing copper telephone lines. This is accomplished using Orckit's core ADSL and SDSL copper loop modems. With FastInternet, service providers and telephone companies can offer high speed data access simultaneously with a subscriber's Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), using the existing wires. Dedicated copper lines can also be used for the same fast access. FastInternet is more than just a copper loop modem, it is a subscriber line multiplexing system providing low cost concentration of subscriber traffic into high speed backbone networks. FastInternet also solves network security problems and provides the crucial network management capabilities needed in today's networks, all packaged in one system platform. <Snip> orckit.com exchange2000.com Herb
