DT, I love the ghost town analogy! I never ventured over to that thread. I'm sure it must have been started by Smartie. I'm surfing in style today. Rode it down this morning, rode it up (only a little to 248), and am now riding it back down from 248 again. If I don't get dizzy I should make out pretty well today. Are you a long-term short or a "short" short? I am "short" - this morning's position lasted all of 48 minutes. The swings seem to be getting a little tighter now, people must be out to lunch. Good luck, Chuck

Hey everyone, I think my earlier post got lost in the shuffle, but it's worth reposting.. Check it out and tell me what you think of this company! YAHOO is an amazing stock I must admit, but may I suggest everyone look into what a lot of people are saying may be the NEXT Yahoo.. and that is WordCruncher Internet Technologies, Inc. (WCTI). They are coming out with a state of the art multilingual search engine which will be released Feb. 1999. The search engine is very unique in that it provides search results as "hits in context", meaning that the actual site where your search query result appears is sent back to the WordCruncher engine! For example, if you were to do a search on "stocks", it would first give you a table of contents of which sites matched and the number of hits where your keyword appeared. Then when you click on a result, the places where that keyword appears at that particular website appears "in-context" right there on the WordCruncher website!! THe keyword is surrounded by a paragraph or so of the actual text.. So you no longer have to go jumping from site to site to see if they have what you're looking for. It comes to you. Companies who advertise via banner ads wil love this because their banner will get more face time since users will not be jumping back and forth between sites. Their search technology is truly unique and has already been patented. It has already been proven at the University level around the U.S. and will be hitting the commercial market come Feb. 1999.. This is truly a company with AMAZING potential, IMHO. They have a demo of their engine at wordcruncher.com. Check them out and tell me what you think.. Pennystockpicks.com picked them as their "stock of the year" for 1999! Tom
