The following are some of the reasons why Getty Images (Symbol: GETY) will begin experiencing dramatic growth starting now, in Q1:99. www.getty-images.com 1) In 1998 the company had undergone a substantial investment in transforming itself from analog to digital delivery format. Their e-commerce sites are now not only allowing the company dramatic cost reductions (no longer does delivery of costly analog slides hamper them), but in addition, users are buying more images as they are able to search the collection themselves via the web interface. Images from the worlds largest collection now sit on servers, can be accessed by anyone, copies can be purchased over and over again, and downloaded in seconds. Get the picture. 2)We are now beginning Q1:99. Whereas the fourth quarter is typicaly the worst in terms of advertising spending, Q1 is the best. Simply put, new advertising budgets for this year are going to be phenomenal. Just think of the competition within the new media arena. Spending will come Getty's way big time! 3)We've just entered 1999! Happy new year! The end of the CENTURY is near. This will be a huge milestone for us humans. A time to reflect. No one has more images of this century than Getty. 1900's, 1910's, 20's, 30's, etc..... Just those within their Hulton Getty archives are unmatched in scope. How many countless shows on television documenting the century will be created, or even pieces in print media, and not to mention new media? Soon Getty will be swamped by demand for archival images of the last century. Politics, Industrialization, wartime, etc... Not only of Europe and the U.S., but of the world. Think about it. We should finally be looking at a great year for this stock. As always, remember to conduct your own research.

One wonders what this article will do next week: BILL'S 'S0N' RISES T0 THE TEST By MAGGIE HABERMAN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A 13-year-old Arkansas boy whose mom claims he was fathered during a paid sex encounter with President Clinton has taken a DNA test to try to prove it, The Post has learned. Danny Williams - whose mother, Bobbie Ann, has claimed for years that she bedded Clinton and her son was the result - took the test after he signed on with Star magazine, a source told The Post. The tabloid obtained DNA samples from both Danny and Bobbie Ann "a few weeks ago," the source said. The Williams' test results aren't yet available, but "it should be fairly soon," said the source. White House spokesman Jim Kennedy refused to comment. The president has denied ever meeting Bobbie Ann. Cybergossip Matt Drudge, who is reporting the story on his Web site, quotes a source saying, "It's the stained dress all over again. We've been here before." The Williams' results will be compared with samples of Clinton's DNA, which "were previously obtained," Drudge said. It was unclear how the magazine obtained Clinton's DNA and whether it was a fresh specimen. Star editors refused to comment. Star investigative reporter Richard Gooding made the initial contact with the Williams family and has been "building the story for some time," Drudge reports. "He's maintained a good relationship with the family," one source told Drudge. "They trust him. They just finally want to know the truth!" Three years ago, Gooding broke the news of Clinton aide Dick Morris' toe-sucking trysts with a prostitute that forced the political adviser to step away from the president. As they await the results, the Williamses have been moved to a secret location to stay out of the media's eye, Drudge says. Bobbie Ann Williams' name was swirling around long before the paternity test. Several years ago, she sold her story to the Globe, another supermarket tabloid, becoming one in a string of women to come forward with bedroom tales about Clinton. Williams has reportedly claimed she was a 24-year-old prostitute in Little Rock when Clinton, then the Arkansas governor, paid her to have sex with him behind a park hedge. Clinton was 34 years old at the time, Williams claims. Williams reportedly claims the two had several steamy sex-for-money meetings, including one with another hooker. Williams' claims include descriptions of a log cabin in Hot Springs, Ark., that Clinton used as a hideaway to spend time with her and other prostitutes. Her story has prompted endless Internet intrigue, including Web pages detailing her history, her alleged ties to the president and pictures of her son as a youngster. Williams reportedly passed at least one lie-detector test about her charges.
