Looks like you are following the rules: RULES OF SLAMMING STOCKS - 1. Be anonymous, of course. 2. Use 10% fact and 90% suggestion in one's posts. Facts give credibility, while suggestion does the "selling". 3. Let others "help" you learn about a stock thereby developing rapport and a support base. 4. Use multiple handles, but develop a unique style for each. 5. Use multiple ISPs. 6. Start each new handle slowly to build acceptance. 7. Occasionally, use two handles to "discuss" an issue. 8. Do not show all your cards at once when slamming a stock. It's a war - it's ok to lose a battle as long as you save enough ammo to win the war. 9. Know your enemies - they will end up being your best weapons. 10.Only slam until the tide starts to turn. Let doubt carry the stock back with the tide. 11.Maintain an appearance of being open minded but a slant in either direction is acceptable. 12.Don't appear meek. No one follows the meek. 13.Strike just as your opponent starts to gather momentum but not before or you lose your sting. 14.Don't worry if people peg you for a slammer. The doubt will remain and that's what you are after. 15.If pegged, put up a brief fight, then let them feel they've won. This puts their guard down within a few days and your other handles can take over from there. 16.When slamming a stock, the intent is to 'minimize its rise', not to create an instant plunge. 17.To slam a stock requires you only to 'kill the dream' not the company. 18.Use questions to invoke critical thinking and use statements to reinforce. 19.You can be liberal in your questions but be specific and precise in your statements. 20.Don't lie. 21.When slamming, encourage research beyond calling the company. You know people are far too lazy and it's only doubt you are after, not confirmation. 22.When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word - encourage them to seek outside proof. 23.If the company's history is bad, point them there. 24.When slamming, refer to missed deadlines and weak financials. 25.When slamming, if the price rises, blame it on a temporary mass reaction to a press release rather than real interest in the stock. Point out low volume and emphasize the selling. 26.Pretend to share the same concerns by learning what they want to hear. 27.And above all else, be unpredictable.

Push Technology still Dubious at Best Steve, I enjoyed your post as I suspect there is much truth to it. Just beware of raw nerves being displayed here as people look for another scapegoat for WAVO's problems. The recent WAVX deal gives WAVO a much better chance of making their Push VBI system profitable, and is why I'm currently long. Ironically, just as the bandwidth is increasing, new version launch, and WAVX enveloped content testing, this is when J.J.Kramer has decided to strike against most internet stocks, with timing that imperils WAVO shareholders. Despite all the fire an brimstone, WAVO shareholders will get no satisfaction from Kramer unless CNBC themselves are pressured into his public apology. (a clever lawyer may find he benefitted indirectly with increased notiriety, but they won't be able to prove any stock trading benefit, I'm afraid) WAVO shareholders should be using their energy to educate the hundred of CEO's who want to appear on CNBC that they could be ambushed like Deeds was last week. If they boycotted CNBC for fear or such shabby treatment, or in solidarity with Deeds, then GE would get hurt enough to keep Kramer off, or force him to state some sort of retraction indicated that his attack was more of internet stocks in general, and he was wrong for making it sound against WAVO specifically. Ironically, Deeds is in a great position to call everyone on his rolidex for this purpose, as WAVO is suppose to have so many alliences with so many industry heavy hitters. It really would not help shareholder value much, but would at least fray many of the raw nerved Yahoo'ligans we've heard from so far. Let's hope the alledged Monday launch of the retail push gets some favorible critical acclaim, then having to read more Kramer bashing rhetoric this week...

INVESTORS DEFRAUDED BY THE MEDIA & WALL STREET-RICHARD NEY For anyone who has never been introduced to the writings of Richard Ney, at the very least try to obtain: "The Wall Street Jungle" *** "The Wall Street Gang" "Making it in the Market" They were written in the 1970s and are all out of print, but i highly recommend "The Wall Street Gang" for anyone who would like proof positive about the nature and scope of the complicity between mainstream media and Wall Street Specialists and insiders to manipulate prices and investor perceptions for their own enrichment. He also details how the specialists use the short sale to control supply and demand in the market place and are bound to a much more favorable set of regulations of their trading activity than the public may utilize. These books are written by someone who was asked to resign from a prestigious Brokerage, because of the information he began disseminating to the public. During this time period Richard Ney was, one of only two men, blackballed from being on any National TV forums; the other person was Ralph Nader!! In 'Making it in The Market" Ney goes on to detail how Senate Investigation Committee inquiries, headed by Sen Lee Metcalf, looking into NYSE Specialist activities were derailed the shear power of corporatecontrol they exercised through the use of proxie voting power of shares in all their custodial accounts. STEVE HAUSSER, YOUR INFO ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES, PERSONALITIES AND ANY OTHER "BEHIND THE SCENES" VIEW OF WAVEPHORE INCORRECT. I DO NOT HAVE TO CALL THERE, MY ASSOCIATES COUSIN HAS AN EXCELLENT WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UPPER LEVEL EXECUTIVES AT WAVEPHORE AND DISPUTES YOUR PERCEPTIONS IN ENTIRETY.
