Jump on FTRK and join the latest "guru" game. Go with the momentum play. Go with FTRK for their other products and research. But don't do it for the MDU/DirecTV PR...it isn't all that exciting if you look at it. Most (if not all) of DirecTV's partners are regionally based, serving a single city or metropolitan area. They obviously need to be there for the installation/support. There are well over 200 such partners already, including GTE, SBC (Southwestern Bell), and Bell Atlantic to name a few. 200 isn't a lot, but they cover most of the larger markets. Not to mention competition from Primestar and Dish Network. Have you seen other MDU partners? They're mainly just local dealers and not companies I'd invest in. So I guess I can say that I've thought about it, and the MDU/DirecTV thing isn't a reason to invest in the stock. I'll stick with FLYR (though it sure ain't a penny) <g>.
