Louis, oh it's a veritable "Trading Inferno". Great, now I'm getting the sudden compulsion to fire up the home studio and try a song parody. See what you've started! <g> Good clipping, Tom

Have to disagree with you on that Mr. Riley! Usually Barron's is wrong on stocks such as KTEL, so I was hoping they would have a real negative article so it would really go up! Hank

Mentioned in techweb.cmp.com K-Tel International Inc. drew particular ire, having jumped from single digits to $49.50 per share upon announcing an Internet strategy. "It's still K-Tel!" admonished David Bayer, president of Knappenberger Bayer LLC. "We have to taper our enthusiasm for things like the Internet with a dose of reality. Trees don't always grow to the sky, and there is such a thing as valuation." They are saying it is overvalued ... not a "hot stock." Short away! Cheers, Don

Louis, re: "3,500 top 100 hits" - what titles are included in this catalog? Could some of these "3,500 top 100 hits" possibly include some titles that never made the top 10 on the Billboard singles chart? Top 20? (I'm assuming by "top 100" Company is referring to the Billboard singles charts, but if this assumption is incorrect, I would appreciate any correction.) I'd love to see the complete list of 3,500 top 100 hits. Please show me where I can see it. Based on your representations to the public via your press releases that you are an "analyst" I would assume that you know what these titles are, an assumption based on my opinion that a good analyst would not begin ratings coverage of a company without first taking the time to ascertain the merits of the company's products independently of the opinions of company management. I look forward to your prompt and timely response. I use the words "prompt" and "timely", because, once again, I would assume you have already done this particular bit of independent due diligence prior to issuing a recommendation. Is this a correct assumption? Good dancing, Tom
