Subscribers, a suggestion. OMQP +14%, TWMC+14%,MEMCF+14%,STRX+14%, RCII +8% from the MG newsletters. The stocks on the daily watchlists and newsletters are moving quite strongly already. There is really no need to have more than 1-2 watch lists now with both newsletters. I only use the newsletters and 1 watch list and just about 20-30 severly beaten down stocks just because I know them so well. There are not that many stocks in the newsletters so you should already now begin to chart them all, (you don't need to check fundies, I already have, but I can only chart them until the day the newsletter gets published) and have them prepared for the week. Even the ones reporting up to November 13. The plays have been so scrutinized that there will always be something there to buy. Today as well all I looked at were the two newsletters and today's watch lists. I get the ORBKF tip after earnings came out and I was looking through some Israeli site on companies and began accumulating already last week. Another suggestion for the middle of November.. Get a list of all the stocks from the previous 8 newsletters.. September and October most of them were very good and beat the street. Put them together in a portfolio of stocks and track them also. You don't have to do that right away since we still have quite enough to 'play with'.. but I know some of you like to trade a lot and have a large amount of capital to work with. THose of you should now begin watching for 'reruns' of stocks like USWB, TXCC, SAVLY, SEBL, WAXS, QLGC, VRTS, LGTO, SDTI and a bunch of others. You can watch them bouncing on and off their 10,13 day moving averages and buy them over and over.

a word on HLYW, and Reel.com.. (HLYW from Market Gems newsletter) Hollywood Entertainment Corporation Third Quarter Result PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollywood Entertainment Corporation (Nasdaq: HLYW - news), dba Hollywood Video, a chain of 1,134 corporate owned video rental superstores operating in 42 states as of September 30, 1998, today reported revenue of $184.1 million, income from operations of $18.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $30.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, increases of 48%, 53% and 54%, respectively, from the same period in 1997. The Company reported net income of $6.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, an increase in same store sales of 7% and an increase in same store rentals of 7%. The Company opened 68 new superstores in the quarter. Now today was a very impressive report from Reel.com also: HLYW continues to perform quite well in the face of all the doubters with 7% store comps. that are now accelerating. Also interesting as well was the performance of Reel.COM. From press release: "Reel.com is the third most recognized online merchant behind Amazon.com and CDNow and nearly 40 million Americans recognize the Reel.com brand, according to an Internet brand study conducted by Opinion Research Corporation [Nasdaq:ORCI - news] in September 1998. Not including the sales of Titanic, Reel.com's revenues for the third quarter were a RECORD $3.8 MILLION, a 271% INCREASE compared with revenues of $1.4 million in the second quarter. Cumulative customer accounts INCREASED to 346,000 through the third quarter, an INCREASE OF 307% compared to the second quarter customer base of 85,000." This was a pretty good acquisition for Hollywood Entertainment and should accrue to its value pretty soon. I like to check the companies before they go into the newsletter. If they win, its good but if they don't, its not for lack of research.
