Does anyone know anything about Ark Investments? Are they active? Do they presage takeovers? etc.

Dylan It looks like RAIN is a screaming buy! 100% growth in 12 months. With the openings giving a lift to the stock and if they start some advertising/coupons at woodfield, tysons corner then maybe these places will come back. January retail sales were all up (sears) perhaps rain in the malls are headed back up? I think I'll put my shares aside and look at them in the fall. John

Subj: DYLAN post #3985 Date: 98-02-06 13:22:39 EST From: rickhort@rose.net (Rick Horton) Reply-to: rickhort@rose.net To: DENNISVAIL@aol.com Dear Dennis, Not SI subscriber but long RAIN. Want to clarify Dylan post. Did not listen to CC, however, all references I have found indicate current year est. EPS @ .78-.79 and following year est. @ 1.10-1.15. REF: Yahoo.com for Zach's and quicken.excite.com/investments/ibes for I.B.E.S. Expectations for #30-33 based on P.E.=30 as expressed in follow-on reply is ambitious. However, the I.B.E.S. referrence does indicate a projected 40% growth rate for the next 3-5 years. .78 x 40 = $31. Let it RAIN all over the world!! Rick -
