Regarding long term holding...just in case any of the savvy investors on this thread aren't aware of the tax structure set up last year...selling out your initial cost and riding free shares for at least 18 months lowers your tax rate on capital gains (when you do sell and show a profit on a specific equity) from 28% to 20%, a significant savings. For those in the 15% bracket, the little old ladies, it becomes 10%. Excuse me if everybody knew this, just a reminder that an 8% savings on a 4 or 5 or 10 bagger can be serious money. If you can possibly afford it, go long term with the house money. BTW, rates are applicable to investments as of 7/29/97. I hope this helps at least somebody. Of course, this all applies to investors; you traders are just showing ordinary income. And lots of it I hope! Regards, Carl van Rooyen

I noticed you posted an excellent synopsis of AWTE on its thread. Sounds like a very interesting, very strong company. I will look at it first thing in the morning and undoubtedly pick some up. I imagine movement up will be slow and steady and not a feverish rush, what do you think? It impressed me that the CEO holds so much of the company stock. Good sign. Charger

I remember when Dell came on to the college scene and started selling computers and their stock was no where near what it is at today. Once they got a foot in the door and they presented their product, the stock went wild. This inside track with institutions is huge for USTI.
