To everyone, reference my post#2461 and SHORTING BBs... My Canadian contact provided the following information: A. Canadians can short over-the-counter stocks and there doesn't have to be an uptick. B. The client should request the broker to borrow the shares for delivery. C. If the broker cannot borrow the shares, the client can still sell short, BUT, the client now has the risk of having the short position bought in for failure to deliver the shares against the sale. D. If the stock in question is .50 cents or more in price the collateral required by the broker is: 200% of the market value. E. If the stock in question is: less that .50 in price the collateral required by the broker is 100% of the market value PLUS and additional .50 cents per share. If the Canadians want to short, let them. The amount of capital they have to tie up is huge in relation to the potential short term gains. If you have any questions I will try to answer them. Best,

Wiz, Greate summary of the past, present and the future - a must read and should be posted on Kevin's web site. All together what I'm looking for is the first contract news to come out which of cause will be the result of FNTN sale's force. From my experience at his stage when FNTN has the technology in place they need sales people preferably with prior experience in the Intranet field. Any sign of potential customer will then put them in business as well as test their capabilities. This IMO can move the price to double digits alone (in case of a known and big client). Radim

Wiz, Radim, Don (& Malcolm): The four of us (Wiz, Radim, Don & myself) are probably the boldest predictors concerning Financial Intranets upper end stock value potential. Last week, when I threw out $30 dollars as a potential, A few people jumped all over me (and Radim) saying we were anything from hypsters to insane. Malcolm questioned me (curiously - not negatively) on the possibly of a .25 cent stock ever hitting that plateau, and if there was ever a precedent for that kind of price-rise. I checked with my friends at Iomega first for their historical charts. Here is their answer: "The low point for the (Iomega) stock on a split adjusted basis would have been $0.17 in 1994. The high point, again on a split adjusted basis, was $27 in May of 1996." Now, here comes a fresh idea (remember, Iomega had to compete with established players like Syquest) and a new little sector called "The Internet." So you non-believers and agnostics out there - you tell ME where the limit is. I can't see it, folks. Wally

Thanks Don and TechnoWiz: I agree with your statements... "Financial Intranet can deliver everything mentioned and a whole lot more", and "Our time will come. Wall St. will find us." An interesting article, several days ago, relates to FNTN... Thriving M&A Market Widens Margin Over IPOs as Preferred Path to Capital for IT, Communications and Media, According to Latest Broadview Report New York--July 29, 1998 Article exerpts... "The furious pace of M&A activity in the IT, communications and media industries is being driven by urgent strategic needs," said Paul Deninger, Chairman and CEO of Broadview, a leading global M&A investment bank serving the IT, communications and media industries. "Aggressive companies are fortifying their businesses with expanded products, services and distribution reach." "Telecom companies are supercharging their efforts to assemble, integrate and offer complete communications solutions, encompassing voice, data and Internet services," said Deninger. "That means wireline, wireless, cable and even satellite capabilities integrated and delivered seamlessly." The complete article can be accessed at broadview.com It seems to me while the others are assembling, and integrating, FNTN and Siemens have ALREADY assembled and integrated, and are now ready, as Radim pointed out, for Marketing , Marketing, Marketing. Maybe thats why Mr. Sheppard, when asked about competition, said "none at this time". I think some of our previous analysis of competition to FNTN is erroneous. Some of those companies focus on documentation only, others on videoconferencing. How many companies have seamlessly integrated the video-on-demand, interactive video conferencing, data warehousing, remote paging and communication, and reduced telephone services, all at a reduced packaged price, or as Mr. Stein told Malcolm long ago, "all the bells and whistles", at an attractive package price, (compared to all the services priced separately from different vendors) I don't consider Michelin, and Goodyear to be competitors to GM or Ford, even though their both related to the Auto Industry. In the same way I don't consider a company that only focuses on Intranet documentation, a competitor of FNTN, which is selling the whole CAR, not just the tires. And even when competitors build the whole converged network, it seems to me that the growth of the intranet market is so explosive (as recently posted) as to be big enough for FNTN to thrive.
