So far he is right as I have been! The stock is up again today! Please everyone continue selling this dog short! Hank P.S.-Disclaimer: Notice I do not not recommend buying this stock, just sell short so all of you out there blasting this stock will have to buy your shorts back!

I for one can say I loved the web site I personally was blown away by the web site this morning. First of all they delivered ON TIME! They said May 1 and they delivered. I like that. A lot. What did I like about the web site? Easy to use. Pleasant formatting. Much greater selection than I expected. Good marketing instincts throughout. They will sell a lot of CD's from this web site. No question in my mind. Yesterday, someone tried to trivialize the news release concerning Real Audio. This morning I listened to some samples from one of Andrea Bocelli's CDs. Bocelli's Rigoletto coming over my PC at 8 am this morning. Great! To put it mildly. I compared the site with N2k's Musicblvd.com. There is no comparison folks. You can say otherwise but it doesn't take long to see N2K's been beat. Decisively. Doesn't mean that they won't do well. Probably will. But K-Tel express is superior, IMO. Take a look yourself folks. It won't take long. It's obvious by my posts that I am long here. I have been short. For one day. Feel lucky about my timing. After lots of DD, I'm convinced this is a company that's going to make it. Big. They're in the right place at the right time and they know what they're doing. I have some short positions but it won't be here. IMHO, there are much safer plays, then to be betting against a company that is on the move in the hottest market sector there is. Just my thoughts.

I tip my hat to Riley... At 20 this was a long. Clearly NOW I agree, but to continue this is sort of sad... The site is, as I predicted, incomplete. It is too easy to shop around on the internet, and KTEL cannot compete on price. I don't see as bright a future for this company as Louis would like his members to believe. Revenues/Earnings will become an issue. Louis has not, can not talk about that. His recent hype does not include a EPS estimate for this qtr, or one for the current FY. Will earnings go up or down? Currently they have a 2% profit margin...Will that continue? Go down? Nope, just a price target... based I assume, on comparing KTEL to CDNW.
