Alot of pent up e-tail/internut buying has occurred after each of the previous 2 holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas). I would not be surprised to see the same occur on the first few days back from the New Years Day Holiday.

Combine that with YHOO's upcoming announcing earnings (whisper number looks good)
earningswhispers.com

and AMZN's imminent 3:1 split
biz.yahoo.com

And then add in the 'January effect'.

Plus most of the internuts have just sold off or been shorted down ,, so the springs are all coiled ready to release again. There's a ton of eyeballs watching all these stocks. My guess is that this whole sector is a tinder box just waiting to be relit with everyone looking for that next one to shoot up ... lets hope it will be DMRK! Won't take much to send it skyward with only a 2 million share float and most buyers from the last 3 days of combined 1 million share volume still holding.

Cheers

Mike

Am I missing something? Damark already has their retail sales website at damark.com.

Do you think "new alliances" with AOL, Yahoo, or others will really move the stock that much?

Aren't the "skyrockets" flying when a retail outlet starts selling on the web, not necessarily "just" new alliances?

Sorry, still buzzing from the New Years Six-Pack!!! Can't sleep!

dwlina,
Thanks for the great tip on skym last week. I found this stock and thought it had great potential. Do you have an opinion on this one.

ELCO

Stock is depressed because of pre-announced losses.
Book Value= $3.5
Sales==$764 million
Selling for $2
Seems VERY WELL positioned in net-commerce
Losses this quarter due to Asian financial crisis.
Float is only 17 million
Total shares 26 million
Sales=$28/share

With sales of $760 million and a new e-commerce posture and acquisition, it looks as if we could have a real explosion.
Any contrary views or negative insights deeply appreciated.
Happy New Year to all!

Emile

Here is the profile:

Elcom International, Inc. develops and licenses proprietary software systems which enable the
conduct of interactive electronic commerce and, through a subsidiary, uses this technology to support
the sale and marketing of PC products electronically. The Company's proprietary Personal Electronic
Catalog and Ordering System (PECOS(R)) technology enables the Company and its licensees to
create interactive electronic catalog and ordering systems and thereby market products and services
using PC-based electronic commerce systems which operate on public and private Internet Protocol
networks. PECOS is designed to become an integral part of a customer's purchasing process by
computerizing various tasks associated with the product ordering, fulfillment and delivery process.
These tasks include gathering and searching through product information, selecting products,
checking product price and availability, comparing and selecting shipping options, analyzing computer
system configurations, generating purchase requisitions, obtaining approvals, and placing orders
electronically from the customer's PC.

The PECOS system also can link electronically with a supplier's order entry and warehouse
management systems, thereby supporting the automation of the fulfillment of such orders. The
Company believes that its PECOS technology is the first client/server, Windows- and
transaction-based electronic marketing and ordering system to generate substantial revenues in the
emerging area of PC-based electronic commerce. The Company, through its technology subsidiary,
has signed a total of ten license agreements for its PECOS technology and is pursuing additional
license agreements.
