Kathy, FWIW, I sold 1/2 of our KEA and applied the proceeds to DDIM. I think we will see the Y2K sector looking for values where ever they can and there are all of those shorts who need to cover and go long as well. DDIM may not be a KEA, CHRZ, or CBR, but I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who's firm is working with DDIM and they seem satisfied with the quality of service they are recieving from them. Regards, Ron

Arent these shorts great? I have nothing to lose, the only thing Im limited in is the amount of profit I will make from this "pig" anywhere from only 5%, stopped out, or a 100, 200, 300% gain as this whole sector catches fire. While shorts may have UNLIMITED losses I can see why they get nervous. Regards, Risky Morale of the story: MESS WITH THE BULL AND GET THE HORNS!

Kathy, After four quarters of being fed bs, garbage and assorted hype ...after four quarters of lowered expectations, lowered eps, and missed earnings, sales etc etc one would think one might wake up and begin to see this is overblown. I'm being kind in describing the last year of doggie doo bs. regardless you need all the irish luck you can muster to make a profit on this dog. Better go home and kiss the blarney stone a few more times. All the best.....Wad

Kathy call the company, get the data and the shear numbers speak for themselves. Ask them how much business they did with 50 employees. What was the number with 100?. What is their turnover ration to hire ratio for the past 2 quearters? Do the math! Look at the bodies they have at present. Look at the current turnover ratio for the last 4 quarters for the company and the industry in general.( DDIM is higher by the way as you will see) Then...you tell me how many shear bodies they need in order to simply to meet the numbers projected 1 1/2 years ago ( via the earnings projections via the business plan)even if they had the business( wqhcihc they don't) already booked threw 2000!. Conclusion Even if they had the business... they don't have the shear bodies to do it! It's impossible They need a minimum of 1500 seasoned, trained, inplace porfessional employees. Not a bunch of last week temps!. All qualified up to date ready to go tomorrow without training bodies t as depicted in their business plan as I see it. They need to hire, train and get into the sytem 680 employees in the next 2 months. At the pace they have set thus far, the most they have beeen able to assume in any 2 month period is 80 to date as per my calculations. This alone leaves them 600 bodies short! 600!!!!! Tell me how they are going to pull the margins they need out of business they dpon't even have booked and do it with personal they don't even have employed and your creative than Copperfield! Call the company, get the numbers, get the ratio's, look at the business plan and you do the math!

Kathy, IMO, it is highly likely that DDIM will meet (maybe exceed) the lowered expectations of $0.14. I projected $0.19 for this quarter back in November. Follow this link back for my estimates: exchange2000.com I am not currently short (I have posted my trades on DDIM). I enjoyed 19.5 points of profit on this one last year<G>! Regards, Bill
