To: +Riley G (1060 ) From: +Bob Davis Tuesday, Feb 17 1998 2:00PM EST Reply # of 1062 Could be so.... The most interesting point in this report is made in the intro paragraph - "This reports was prepared on a fee basis." That means that the analyst was paid to prepare the report...and obviously was paid to write a positive report. Whenever you look at a research report, look at the basis on which the report was written, and especially whether the analyst was paid to produce the report. If anyone is compensated in any way for writing a report and fails to state this, it is a violation of Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933. Bob Davis The Napeague Letter napeague.com

From Stock Detective site: " deputy: Mike city: Kalamazoo, Mi subject: Short Squeeze I have been reading some Internet message boards that talk about short squeezes in two stocks: EUTO and RMIL. Does a short squeeze really exist in these stocks or is it just hype to inflate their prices? Message posters claim illegal shorting. SD Reply: For a "bonafide" short squeeze to occur, someone or lots of investors need to buy a stock "long" and remove those shares from the public float, typically by taking physical delivery of certificates. This is done to deprive short sellers of collateral stock required of them and force the short seller to buy-back at higher prices. Nevertheless, professional short sellers do have their ways of continuing to sell short or avoid "buy-ins" ad-infinitum. This is also referred to as "illegal" short selling and is a topic for a future Stock Detective report.. Other than encouraging long-term shareholders to request physical delivery of their share certificates, the only feasible defense against the ravages of small-stock short sellers is for a company is to achieve financial success and garner widespread support at comparable market valuations. For well-intentioned upstarts and development stage companies with little or no fundamental strength (earnings or equity) short sellers can easily spoil the party. On the other hand, for scam stocks, short sellers sometimes show uncanny ability to bring inflated or manipulated shares back to reality. " The real question is.... will we have enough shares to squeeze out the "illegal" short sellers.
