Joan, Glad to see you at our new digs. Yes thar is gold in them thar internets. I will confess my sin now so I can start the new year right.
A few days before the AOL/S&P news, I bought a mega amount of AOL @ 92 1/4. I'd sell now but facts are I've never sold a share of AOL that I didn't later regret. This stock is going much higher in the new year and I'm in cheap (for a internet bluechip). I bought AOL after finding out Mike McIdiot does not work for AOL (he only rents board space).
I've put together a list of where nets are likely to go on a major pull back, let me know if you want the info. Also to pay for my AOL sin, I shall post some interesting research on internets. It amazes me how many "experts" on CNBC are clueless when it comes to internets and investing in them.
The Kernan effect on the unproven internets is no less then amazing. Skymall? Oh, please. As someone who has flown a few million miles, I got to tell you I have NEVER bought anything from a catalog on a jet. Also, I don't plan on looking at the internet site. If I view their site then I won't be surprised at the high priced, mostly useless items I see when I pass time looking at a catalog on a plane. BLUE

Was doing a text search of SI for "BZET" and found your message. Volume is up today, maybe it has bottomed. I have looked at it extensively and certainly justified as a "speculative" investment. Patents, etc. all look good. My impression is management is laying low to find a buyer for the technology, they have cash and are not in any immediate danger of financial crisis. I even managed to get a small buy past the MM's today at 3/32...a real feat! I would not be surprised if they are accumulating what *HAS* to be a very small float at this point!

Best of Luck with it....another local loss leader I watch is PFNT, they might do something early next year, not buying yet though.

Cheers!

909ers,

Seen on a message board, for what it's worth:

post.messages.yahoo.com

Assuming this was not a joke (I feel it was not)...Mark really does not get it. I like to see this as the glass half full, can't have everyone pouring into the Inuts. The rollercoaster just got back into the station, we're all pilin' in, and the scared Marky kid is seen reversing course, and pushing his way through the line to get outside for some GE merry-go-'round ride, or sumthin'. There will always be those kids, ya know.

Buy, now.

AH

Off Topic...

The Shuttle launch tonight is no walk in the park, so you can either turn on the TV before 00:28am EDT, read the lengthy details, or skip to the links.

Since STS-93 is making its third attempt to launch tonight with the earliest launch being at 00:28am EDT tonight, I thought I would post some info that will hopefully set the mood for some of you night owls. As I write, the crew has almost completed their ingress into the cockpit with less than 2 1/2 hours to go. Pass it on and share as you like.

This is one heavy payload/Orbiter combination, so all of us in Houston and the Cape have our eyes glued with anticipation.

The NASA mgmt team has maximized the launch window (unusual above-and-beyond effort), from the original 46 minutes out to 1 hour and 56 minutes. In other words, the normal launch window for tonight was to last only up to 01:14am EDT, but the launch could take place as late as 02:24am. The additional 70 minutes in launch opportunity tonight were made available since it was found acceptable that the Chandra X-ray Observatory spend an additional 20 minutes in the Earth's shadow on every orbit with limited impact on power supply margins, and no impact to mission success.

Below is the obligatory NASA TV video/audio link (if you don't have cable) for y'all with the faster modems. This is not a ".gov" site, so should run a lot faster, but I highly recommend it (audio especially):
unitedspacealliance.com

For all Techriders who understand rockets and holding on to the bar, the obligatory live shuttle tracking map, which provides the countdown clock ("MET", i.e. Mission Elapsed Time), altitude, speed, and reaction control jet firings:
tracker.unitedspacealliance.com

The following Florida Today link is a respectable info-source for the latest countdown events, so "refresh" on the browser will provide up to the minute updates (if the audio link above does not do justice).
flatoday.com

Last night, the launch was scrubbed due to weather rules, so I'll include a radar link so the NASA weather talk means more to 'ya:
intellicast.com

When we launch, please think good thoughts, pretend you're holdin' on to the bar, and share the pride in one of our national treasures.

Ciao!

Hans
