Hi Tech,

(High Tech?!?!?! Ummm...never mind...)

Anyway, you asked me, <<Victoria, if you seek integrity and honor, why do look at liars like Mr. Kevin Hansen ?>>

Well, I have never known Kevin Hansen to be a liar, on this board or anywhere for that matter. I doubt that he would ever knowingly mislead anyone actually. (I would stake the fine reputation of Rachel Goldbergsteinowitzski on that last assertion. <gggg>)

Like Santa Claus (any resemblance between the Jolly Fellow and myself is entirely coincidental, btw), I am constantly updating my list of who's been naughty and who's been nice. Sometimes, I move someone from the nice list to the naughty list, but rarely vice versa. That is because most jerks show their true colors rather quickly, but some are a little trickier, a little more skilled in their manipulations perhaps. Eventually, they are found out, and once they are discovered, they can rarely redeem themselves fully, nor do they usually even try. I do not take integrity nor honor lightly. I can be someone's best friend, or their worst enemy. Just ask around. <gggg> Or, should I say,

***********************PROVE OTHERWISE**********************

;)

You also commented that, <<CSGI WILL PERFORM AND THE STOCK WILL MOVE UP 80% to 100%>>

I am sure you are correct. Technically speaking, it is highly likely that CSGI will go up, perhaps even 80+% at some point...but when? And it is as just as likely that it will go down sometime before or after a run as well. For lack of a better explanation, "STOCKS GO UP AND STOCKS GO DOWN." (Darn that CAP LOCKS!!! STOP IT!! Stop it!! Ahhh, that's better...)

Stock movements are controlled by various factors, (all of which are discussed ad nauseum on these boards & none of which are so mystical that it would take a rocket scientist to figure them out). However, over time, practically any idiot could predict that a stock will go up or down and it will probably happen. I have seen many such idiots make predictions and then gloat when they are eventually correct. That's not skill or experience, but merely conjecture. (Note that I have no interest in naming said idiots, however.)

I think that when one puts his integrity on the line in giving more definite time parameters in making predictions on stock movements, that this is preferable to vague, hyped statements which carry no fundamental or technical basis. Motives come into question in the latter scenario.

<<THE YEAR 2000 flood gates are due to open shortly.>>

Yes, this is true. However, it is not a "sink or swim" situation for each and every Y2K issue, as there will be plenty of continued competition in this arena, and lots of life jackets to go around. Too many complicated facets of this problem for one company to emerge as the sole leader, imo. There will be several winners, probably a lot of consolidations taking place, but surely many more losers than winners overall. I would think that in spreading one's risk by investing in several different companies might be prudent. But, you haven't asked for my advice, so I apologize. <gggg>

I still maintain that most investors become so overly attached to their stock positions that they lose much of their objectivity in being able to make sound financial decisions in the market. Once this emotionality supercedes objective data and research, errors will be made. It becomes a cause over which much energy and time is expended in fighting, and when the battle is being lost, even more time and then hostilities enter into the exchange in order to vindicate oneself.

Sometimes, it is best to admit defeat and go fight a worthier or loftier cause. Stocks are simply a vehicle through which money is to to be made. They ain't my life.

I have no real interest in CSGI to be honest, though I suppose I could not resist in sharing some thoughts with you again. People do turn up again and again in the strangest places! Ain't it a small world?

See ya 'round,
V.

(Foxtrot anyone??)
