Hi! Matt, Great Work! To bad it wasn't morning! I think you just woke a lot of people up! Yes! It could very well be a WOTD webb site in the works! Time will tell! Matt! I was pleased to see that you are a lifetime member of S.I.!!! Don't forget to get get some rest/sleep! We'll probably need it, if, as and when news is released! I have a hunch that many CVIA Thread participants will be closely following the WOTD Webb Site that you found, that appears to be currently under construction! WOW! You sure are an exciting and added dimension to this thread! I have a hunch that you are going to take the world by storm. Matt! I'm not trying to suggest to you what to do, but! have you thought of phoning Mr. Jack Arnold and requesting an update? I know he is extremely busy, it's only a guess, but I think he would be very motivated to hear from you! ( I say this because it is my impression that he is reading and following the developments of this CVIA Thread!). With DLEE and MATT being prime candidates to start the new thread ( The Dynamic Duo!)-----I think we are in store for some fun and interesting times ahead! ( Just my own opinion!) Best Regards, Wayne J.

TO ALL: My moniker is "Screamin". I am a US Army officer and avid investor/speculator. The nickname comes from college. I have been a lurker for some time. I own a decent number of CVIA shares. I have really enjoyed reading your messages. I am using the trial membership (please groan now and get it over with). Anyway, the only reason I am posting is because I want to share an article in today's USA Today Money section that is exciting if you apply it to CVIA and its possibilities. Anyway here goes: (This is only one small article from a full page spread) BUSINESSMAN SCORES BIG AFTER HATCHING ROLLUP IDEA Meet the godfather of the moder rollup. By next month, Jonathan Ledecky, 40, will have had a hand in the creation of eight rollups. In four years, he's gone form financing his first venture with $250,000 on his credit cards to personal holdings wirth $200 million. Ledecky is a Washington D. C. businessman who stumbled onto the rollup craze as it was taking off. He hatched the idea of rolling his single-contract stationer with five others, selling stock to the public, and becoming a major player in the office supplies business. Ledecky says he was turned down by 95 of the 100 contract stationers he approached about becoming part of the company. Forty investment bankers rejected the idea before he found one that would back him. U.S. Office Products was born. The $3 billion companyh rolled up 220 smaller outfits hawking everything from office coffee services to corporate travel. After the stock fell on hard times, Ledecky announced plans to split the company into five publicly traded companies. He has since gone on to co-found a floral wholesale rollup, USA Floral, that has $350 million in annual sales. He raised $500 million in a blind pool last year for Consolidation Capital before deciding to make it a rollup of building maintenance firms. Next: a rollup of equipment financing businesses, UniCapital. "I like sponsoring young, hungry executives who want to do consolidations," he says. Does any of this sound familiar. Sounds like Jack has make a good start. Perhaps he needs to contact this guy. Anyway just food for thought and a little boost to my already high optimism. Good luck all and I have appreciated the opportunity to read your postings. Screamin

READ THIS NOW!!! Everyone was concerned about getting a new thread set up for WOTD, so I took it upon myself to do it. I hope no one is mad at me... I think there is a way to change it if we need to, so just email me or post on here and I will try to change it. The intro is short, obviously because of limited information, but it is definitely better that Mr. WU's. I think we should all move onto that thread and discuss issues there. The address is: techstocks.com Regards, Fatt Matt
