drsvelte, quick look at some of the fundamentals on your technical picks - (it's late): RML: Trading at its 52 week high? Don't know why - probably some other reason- RML is an international designer, manufacturer and marketer of activewear, athletic uniforms, knit shirts, leisure apparel, licensed sports apparel, socks, lightweight fabrics, and yarn-dyed woven fabrics. For the 13 weeks ended 4/5/98, sales fell 1% to $256.2 million. Net income fell 84% to $1.8 million. Revenues reflect lower prices in the distributor market. Earnings also suffered from non-recurring charges associated with the retirement/replacement of the Chairman. recent news: Leisure apparel maker Russell Corp. (RML) closed flat at 29 5/8 after the company said it plans to take a restructuring charge of between $100 million and $125 million, most of which will be felt in its third quarter. The company also posted second-quarter earnings of 18 cents a share, 2 cents ahead of the Zacks consensus estimate. -------------------------------------------------------------------- SRA: Company declines comment on 20% rise in stock price today.

WCAP - I am clueless as to what they do... some kind of financing ... Given the rocketlike price move I think it may be drug running. gg Thean - expert on drug delivery - you probably know. Oh, just reread your message: It's Geocities IPO. Same thing. With all the sacrificing going on - on a daily basis I thought the casket co. might be good for a point - that's all I ask. Would be less risky if the general trend was up though, you're correct Thean.
