Paul: I'll get an early start here and entry my picks for the new ZContest. Won't be near a computer for the next week, so here it goes... Long...PSIX Short...YHOO I was going to short KTEL, but that was before it took its nosedive the last 2 sessions of 18 points. At 44 to 48, that was a screaming short if there ever was one. Thanks for taking the time to administrate the contest, your efforts are appreciated! Regards, Jack

Chat contest, Paul, I missed the reason the picks are due Friday at midnight. Probably record keeping. I hoped to have at least 1 weekend day to research it after the bell on Friday. I'll play anyway you choose, but was hoping for Saturday 2359 hours. I'm back on the graveyard shift (for 6 weeks) and Friday evening is sleep time for me. Steve

Contest. Paul, Thanks for administering the third Z contest. You and your wife are invited out to dinner whenever we can get together. PS to all: I'll donate the prize again: a $25 gift certificate to Applebee's restaurant. So get your entries in and good luck! We will come up with a comparable prize if there isn't an Applebee's where you live. Dan

PZ: Re: ZSTOCK PICK CONTEST... 1. RECY... A scrap metal recycler that is growing by Acquisition... It became profitable last Qtr... It will have gone from 27 Million in Revenues in 1996 to a one Billion dollar revenue run rate this year... The stock has been in a trading range and is poised to break out as earnings continue to improve... 2. TAVA... A Y2k play on the Embedded chip market... Almost anything you can think of (computers, elevators, autos, planes, automation equipment, etc.), uses embedded chips... You've heard the stories about the chaos that could occur after 1/1/2000... TAVA is in a niche position in the embedded chip market... It should benefit greatly as more and more companies take preventive action... Coca Cola, GM, Bristol Meyers, are just a few of the companies that TAVA is working with... The stock is poised for a huge upside breakout as MoneyFlow continues to build... Jim
