Thanks, Jack. Five to three, sells outpaced buys, a total of 27.9k/offer to 46.4k/bid. We had 11 sells in a row go off starting at 2:10, 13.2k in all and just as abruptly, the streak ended and we turned 2 to 1 in favor of buys for the rest of the day: 9.2k/offer to 4.5k/bid. One large block, a 5k buy hit during the day but a 4.7k sell came in too.... It says down at the bottom of your screen that we went out on an up tick. I don't see it on the log but it's something to look forward to. WH

As always, thanks for the logs, Jack. Here's an interesting read on WorldCom and MCI, and the CEO. Fraught with opportunity... ******** pathfinder.com An excerpt of a fascinating article: "...If Ebbers succeeds in combining the company's sales forces so they can push such services, the benefits will be prodigious. Consultant Mark Bruneau of Renaissance Worldwide in Newton, Mass., says, "WorldCom is one of the few companies that will offer an impressively wide suite of services from voice to data to Internet. They would have a big advantage if they can make it easy to buy all that stuff in an organized way." Besides giving WorldCom a lot to digest, MCI poses a challenge to the company's strategy of helping shift communications traffic from voice networks onto data networks. Without MCI, WorldCom's network is a pure play: modern, high speed, high bandwidth, and oriented toward data. WorldCom could use the Internet to carry phone calls in digital form; doing so, it could undercut the prices of conventional phone companies, since data networks are more efficient. But with MCI, WorldCom will take possession of a company that owns a conventional network and gets more than 75% of its revenues from old-fashioned phone calls. To be sure, of the major long-distance companies, MCI is the one most observers credit with doing the best job of preparing for the preeminence of data traffic. Even so, Ebbers may not be as free as before to price aggressively..." ******** rd
