STERLING INVESTMENTS I called them after TM posted some info from them around 12/1. It is a small firm that writes info on companies that PAY them to spread the word and to provide info for investors. RNTK paid this guy in cash, not stocks. It's a small time item. There was good info from the newsletter about RNTK that came out. ALL THE INFO CORRELATED WITH RNTK'S OWN INVESTOR'S PACKAGE. No hype. Just pretty mundane info. If anyone wants a copy, I can fax it to you. If you want tidbits, go to research site and see my input from the newsletter. MChen

I guess that I would tend to question their credibility ... or perhaps their objectivity ... a good bit more than I might, say, a major brokerage firm. It seemed to be pretty much a rehash of what is already known about the company. I'd tend to call it "pseudo-analysis"??? But naturally I am pleased whenever there is an opportunity to tell people more about this stock -- or any that I own, for that matter. JSb. (long a small position in RNTK)

During the day today, I noticed that the relative Bid/Ask numbers were 50x10, and that at the same time the Bid-Ask spread was down to 1/16th. If memory serves, these numbers are both rather unusual. Can you ... or anyone ... help me interpret what they actually are telling us about the instantaneous dynamics of the market at that time? Many more buyers than sellers (5:1)? Some competition between MM's such that they lowered the spread? Why would they do that -- afraid of being stuck one way or teh other if the stock makes a big move? Thanks in advance. JSb.
