Regarding alliances, I would not be surprised to see another release this week. In an earlier post I actually expected a quiet period between the holidays with new announcements early next year but with all of the attention SKYM is getting the company may want to keep up the interest by releasing "statements of direction" and maybe a new alliance. As I posted a few weeks ago they have hired many new technical personnel to enhance their web capabilities and implement their Internet infrastructure for other companies to use so that they too can benefit from what SKYM has developed. Also, they have hired an additional four marketing executives to go out and close more alliances. I posted a summary of the October conference call in an earlier post (way back at the beginning of the thread) which may be helpful for those who are new here and have an interest in where SKYM is going. I hope it doesn't retest the real lows since those were below 3 but I think each day it will swing wildly. I think the ability to short this stock is going to get more difficult. For example, I believe a lot of stock is getting moved into cash accounts. The larger brokers probably will become more restrictive on what a client can do. And more and more stock will be accumulated for 1999 transactions. So the stair-step scenario discussed by Bo and S.W. could very well play out here at least until next week.
