TSSW to enter the internet market. Company mentioned during their 3rd qtr prerelease of earnings. New CEO has signed a partnership with a 56 modem company to bundle the company's hardware and software. Company's internet netoptimizer product included in diagnositic kit which was recently nominated for the product of the year award by PC Mag. Noticed the internet stocks have been very hot. TSSW will announce plans to enter this market. Not many details provided in last prerelease of earnings ( company looking for a loss that was 50% of the prior qtrs loss with charge and about 20% without charge ) Shareholders bailed on this one but the last two days of volume are encouraging. . . may finally see a reversal back up. Trades for less than cash and investments with no bank debt. Some other smaller companies starting to bounce . . PUMA slowly moving back up.

Hello Iris. I just watched last Friday's NBR program that I had taped and found out that 70% of economists expect a rate cut this Tues. Since that ratio is much higher than I had thought, there could be more downside pressure on stocks if we don't get a rate cut. It seems that WS expects one more rate cut this year so if we don't get one now and drop down to ~8600, we should still rally back on hopes of receiving one in December. If we get a rate cut on Tues., I agree with the lady(on NBR) who said there is not a whole lot of upside potential for stocks. At this point, I don't know if we get a cut or not. I don't see why we should. I am biased in thinking that we won't but I am not sure so I won't trade on that. I am not in the market right now and will stay out until Tues. As far as INTC, same as previous announcement, it is considered a safe place to park one's money. I am sure many expect that INTC has low-balled the street and there is some upside to the pre-announcement. Clint
