TOP TEN REASONS TO OWN CKFR BEFORE ITS TO LATE CKFR, an internet stock that will actually make tons of money. 1) Have MSFT beat by a year. 2) Banks will not use MSFT/FDC/Citicorp. Why would Wellsfargo, Chase, BAC contribute to a competitor. 3) Consumers will not go Website to Website to pay bills, will use bank as one stop shop. 4) Billers will not set up own site and take 5% hit for every credit card payment. 5) CKFR on verge of signing up most of the major billers that are nationwide. Banks will sign up small billers in their own market leveraging CKFR sales efforts 6)CKFR has cash cows that provide funding for internet effort. 7) Do not lose $5.00 for every transaction in effort to "Brand Customer". 8) Bank Y2K problems almost behind them. Will acelerate customer movement to Web Banking in 1999. 9) Valuation is very cheap versus other internet plays. 10) CKFR will save consumers, Banks, and billers money. Adaptation to Web billing is going to be very powerful and drive EPS.

Crossed a Million in less then an hour....wonder if this thing's got enough juice to make one of those 'widow & orphan friend' internet moves? Was asking the same question myself for the last few days. To me it looks like since Piper issued upgrade someone was churning the stock. For the volumes that we've seen for the last few days, stock price usually responds much stronger. Large chunks of stock are crossing the tape on the sale side. Most of the buying was done by small investors. OTOS, I checked yesterday some usual hangouts for the small investors, like Motley Fools - one post only, misc.invest.stocks - no posts at all. So, most of the small guys haven't even heard about the stock move yet. If/when they join the rest of the crowd, price may go way up. If it does, those who was churning the stock may decide to jump back in. They may try to badmouth the stock for a few days before the jump, though. Anyway, I don't see a big downside risk at this time. On the upside, there's nothing wrong if the stock takes a breather for a few days. Some good news wouldn't hurt in the mean time. A while ago Pete promised us some big announcements within 90 days. Hope it is coming soon.
