Why Matty won't post until after the bell Monday: because he wants to be able to sell his shares before he tells everyone what happened on the trip. there's no chance he's going to give us the full story before the market opens monday! And that other guy who went along with him, who keeps claiming that "nah, i'm not going to say anything until matty posts" is just hilarious. they both know something is up. however, if they were fed a really interesting rumor by folks at NETZ headquarters, that could be turned into another quick $1.40 pump n' dump, then they may be waiting to buy some shares at the low monday before revealing the new rumor. (this however nowhere near as likely as situation #1.) in either case, matty isn't going to post a thing until after the market opens monday. this smells fishier and fishier.

I'm Still Trying to Form an Opinion... Am in a serious DD mode on NETZ... which is an almost laughable statement because, with its non-reporting status, there's diddly to do what's duly diligent. I mean, I applaud those who have provided info shares about outstanding and float. And I certainly appreciate the enthusiasm and eager-beaver-ness demonstrated at Bob's Picks. And, kudos to Matty for showing the initiative to take RI and Burgess by storm: may Providence be with you. But, as a purely anecdotal observation, my firm is in the business of creating banner and interactive advertising and doing media placement for same. (And, without bragging, we're fast becoming a leader in the SW. But, that and $3.46 will get you a Decaf Grande Mocha at Starbucks.) And Zulu Tek hasn't shown up on our radar. Much less called on us. DoubleClick has been all over us like a cheap suit... which they aren't. EchoMedia got some of our attention at the Thunder Lizard Internet Show in NY. I wasn't the company representative there, so I don't know the details. Now, like I said, that's just an anecdotal observation. It doesn't mean the company lacks value or good product or market share. Further, to cloud things even more, I think DoubleClick is vastly over-valued at its present levels. (This to me is a classic case of market effervescence... and frankly the kind of stuff that makes me wonder about the age of our bull market.) DoubleClick is certainly a good company with some very interesting ideas. We've used them. With success, I might add. Further, they seem to be moving the internet advertising paradigm closer to direct marketing... where I think things will make more sense to more advertisers. (DoubleClick even proposed a pay-for-performance scheme that would save our clients from putting virtually any money up-front, instead paying per-transaction or per-lead fees at the back end. Which, again, is very compelling.) But, I forget, this is not the DCLK vs. NETZ thread. And my apologies for getting into too much detail. If this company has merit, this will show itself. And I am content to miss its early moves and mind-boggling run-ups while the drama plays itself out. Were I NETZ (and very legitimate) I'd be amassing one heckuva analyst road show right now--with cool multimedia and, more importantly, cooler multi-vetted facts and the testimonials of happy and high-profile clients. Because a wonderful, indeed, almost-once-in-a-lifetime PR window has been opened by DCLK's spotlit IPO. However, if I were not legitimate (or, more forgivingly, completely disorganized), I'd play this teaser game with coy press releases, hints, forward-looking statements, etc. All of this, of course, is just my brain froth and humble opinion. Waiting for Matty--a play by Clifford Odets. Best Regards (And Only Profits to Those Who've Invested) c m
