MACD put in a buy signal a month ago on the weekly chart. We are not dealing with MSFT here. MACD shows a typical options swing. Sell covered calls and screw the buyers. DGB

I just got this message. Be careful, saw this yesterday ... PT-1 Communications Asks Court to Stop Rival IDT Corp. from Copying Its Phone Cards NEW YORK, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- PT-1 Communications, Inc., the nation's leading pre-paid phone card provider, filed action in federal district court here today charging rival IDT Corporation with trying to deceive or confuse customers by copying the distinctive trade dress of PT-1's long-distance calling cards. In its filing, PT-1 asked the court for a restraining order that would prohibit IDT from manufacturing, distributing, selling, or advertising nine of its pre-paid long-distance cards. PT-1 also asked for unspecified monetary damages. A show-cause hearing on the injunction request has been scheduled for Monday morning, December 21. Specifically, PT-1 asserts that IDT copied the name, packaging, and trade dress of PT-1's highly successful New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Georgia, California, and Maryland/ Washington, D.C. cards in marketing what IDT called its ''New York Exclusive,'' ''New Jersey Exclusive,'' ''Connecticut Exclusive,'' ''Florida Exclusive,'' ''Texas Exclusive,'' ''Georgia Exclusive,'' ''California Exclusive,'' and ''Maryland/D.C. Exclusive'' cards. The striking pattern of similarities between the two companies' cards, PT-1 said, was designed to trade upon PT-1's established market presence and to make customers think IDT's ''Exclusive'' cards were actually a PT-1 product.
