ALYD raises a red flag!!!! biz.yahoo.com ALYD has been a favorite of Y2K short-sellers for quite some time now. Today's press release smacks of desperation and hype. My gut feeling is this one is headed for 5, but I don't currently have a position and - unlike my other Y2K shorts - I haven't done the hard research on this particular stock. Any comments would be appreciated.

Roger, I remember back in January when you made a prediction that Bill Clinton's time as President was coming to an end and I said that he would not give up that easy! I'm going to make a bold prediction tonight, and that is Bill's time in office has a very good chance of not lasting the last two years that he has left! If he does, I think the economy will turn for the worse and he will leave office a very wounded man! I've never voted for the man and have always believed he has no morals and will say whatever it takes to please the people he is speaking too! I hope and pray that the American people will wake up and begin to live life as we should be living! I feel for his daughter and thought that Hillary was much smarter than what has been told on her tonight as far as not knowing what the truth was until this past weekend! Bill is very lucky in that Hillary is power hungry, or she would have left him when she was told the truth! Enough of my preaching, sorry! Hank Hank
