Washington Gas is now advertising their direct bill pay feature (contracted to CheckFree, of course) in very nice 30 second TV spots. I saw the commercial for the first time today in a local drop on CNN. An older asian couple is spending quality time in a gorgeous, serene woods. Wonderful bird songs and wind sounds fill the air. No human voices at all. Then the words appear, "Wouldn't you rather be paying bills right now?" I almost spewed my beer out my nose. Not that that isn't a regular occurance or anything, but still. Bit.

CKFR down to 6 from around 10 in just a week on no news. I have had 3 stocks like that before in the last 2 months. I end up selling them for under a buck. The reason? Management lied or kept their mouths shut about trouble. Does anyone know management well enough to say they are being truthful in business prospects and projections? I have lost big, including money others have trusted me in this bear market. Then again If I bail now, I won't recover what I have lost :) Count de Monie
