Michael, just a recap of some of the famous Zitel posts:

Colin Powell is on the Board
$600 billion y2k market, $1 billion per month for Zitel
Soros is buying
Big government contract next week (this one played many times)
Invented the calculator
Secret contracts can't be announced
Secret revenues not being reported
The lawyers are taking a three day weekend
The contract is on my desk
I decided not to sign the contract
Big contract next week
Earnings don't matter for y2k companies
Revenues don't matter for y2k companies
Revenues will be so large that the convertible dilution doesn't matter
Promise me you will short and hold one year
Shorts are driving price down with lies

Did I leave out any important ones?

Interestingly many of the posts are being repeated in support of Internet companies, just change y2k to Internet.

Michael -re <NEVER COVER, NEVER PAY TAX ON GAIN...is that right????>

If you make money, pay the taxes. My father-in-law says, "If you ask about the MPG for a Cadillac, then you can't afford one."
