My apologies Yaacov: I thought I posted back to you but maybe it was Sonny. I did list some picks for him, but not very formally. Sorry, but I have been consumed this week with several of those picks which have been performing quite well and look set to continue - those are Financial Intranet Inc. (FNTN) - Which incidentally is My #1 pick for the year. Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts Inc. (DJT) another recent fav. One other I like which looks very dynamic is Cyclo PSS Corp (OZON). As you may recall, I like Korea Telecom, Korean majors and Korean group of funds. We have already done quite well here buying almost the low of the year. Ref: My postings placed co-incidentally at the maximum point of pessimism for big K. Also like Indonesian Telekom (TLK), has been a superb performer since it bottomed at max pessimism point Jan 8. Virtually a double. I would like to try and buy a retest of this low later in this quarter or next depending on how things play out. Just saw this on Bloomberg Technology News Sat, 17 Jan 1998, 5:18pm EST BN 1/17 Intel to Unveil QuickWeb Product to Speed Internet Surfing Intel to Unveil QuickWeb Product to Speed Internet Surfing Santa Clara, California, Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) - Intel Corp. said it will introduce on Monday software to help Internet service providers eliminate some of the delays that plague users of the worldwide computer network. Intel will sell Quick Web for an undisclosed price to Internet service providers, which connect users to the World Wide Web. Intel said it is negotiating with the 30 largest Internet service providers and already has signed up three. Quick Web is Intel's latest product to try to boost usage of the Internet, which could mean more sales of personal computers that use Intel chips. The world's largest maker of microprocessors for personal computers also makes a digital camera that lets people make video phone calls and send still images over the Web. Internet service provider Netcom On-line Communication Services Inc. agreed to introduce the product Feb. 1 after about 700 of its users helped test it, Intel said. ''Our customers have told us that speed is one of the most important attributes, and Quick Web gave them a great improvement,'' said Scott Wills, Netcom's senior vice president for new business ventures. Users will pay a premium for the service, probably $5 a month, and Intel and the online service provider both will get a percentage of that. Users will have to change one setting on their browsers to benefit from the new technology. Santa Clara, California-based Intel's Quick Web cuts Internet waiting by compressing graphics so they flow through phone lines faster and by storing images at Internet service providers so that later requests for the same graphics can be processed locally. --Greg Chang in the San Francisco newsroom (415) 912-2980/jac --------------------------------------------------------------------- I will expand upon these stocks later I have to run now, more later... rgds Wiz

Good Evening Yaacov: Re: More on my picks for 1998, this is going to be a kind of continuing work in progress. In addition to those already mentioned in: techstocks.com I really like the Casino sector including DJT, CIR and MIR. I still like both VOCLF and IDTC, originally in these around $7 in May 97. AKLM backed off from 5 but needs to be watched, great base buildup in progress. Drillers may live to fight another day. Eg. Noble Drilling NE trying to mount impressive reversal and I notice XON starting to resume a more bullish profile Maybe Saddam's real obj is to ramp oil price and appear heroic to his neighbors. NE rates a 9 which following a correction is a good sign, could rate a 10 by tomorrow. Gold's are emerging from long term hibernation. My fav's include: AEM, BMG, RYO, BGO & KGC but I don't want to buy aggressively yet. Not sure if Gold has one more leg down to a new low by March. If it does we may get the op of a lifetime to by these Golds dirt cheap. I think NETM is an interesting speculation. Could be a major recovery candidate. The Y2K sector and Natural Health sector are almost mandatory investments, therefore some exposure to each is merited as a diversification albeit speculative. KEA and IMRS both look good. GNCI looks awesome as does NATR and RXSD. In addition to these individual stocks this whole sector rates a 10. Even TWLB rates a 10. Hope this is enough to go on for now! rgds Wiz
