Anybody playing INFO? -- =Infonautics Up-2:Huge Potential Seen In Company Sleuth Site -- By Joelle Tessler NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Infonautics Inc. (INFO) became the latest tiny company to see its stock take off because it does business on the Internet. Infonautics shares are up 250% as word of the company's new Web site, Company Sleuth, has spread on Wall Street. Company Sleuth searches electronic databases to collect corporate information - including details on insider selling, patents, short interest, domain name registrations, stock ratings, news and chat-room gossip - that investors in particular find useful. "A bunch of people I know in the investment community are checking this out," said Jeff Matthews, portfolio manager at RAM Partners, who sees huge potential in Company Sleuth. Mike Harrold, a technology analyst at the Boca Consulting Group, explained that the service provides information that many people don't have the time to seek out or don't know how to find. "It's like the everyday Joe's personal assistant," he said. Infonautics' shares earlier hit a new high of 10 1/2, passing a previous high of 8 5/8 set on April 20 in the midst of last spring's craze for just about any company trying to make money on the Internet. The shares were recently up 5 15/16, or 250%, at 8 5/16 on Nasdaq volume of 9.1 million, compared with an average daily volume of 90,300.
