Entered this stock in mid July @ 29 1/8 and got whip lash by mid August. Kept buying from 13 down to 8 so I now have a relatively large position which is deep in the black and bears serious attention. Trying to better understand CKFR and their future (mea culpas are in order vis a vis Peter Lynch and Warren Buffet as I realize I don't fully understand my investment but I don't fully understand the technology of many companies I own beyond a general knowledge of where their technology will fit in the world as progress continue). My question: I receive my ATT long distance bill on line. No paper bill will arrive. I pay ATT with my American Express card. I also pay AOL and MSN Investor with my American Express Card.No paper bills I receive a paper American Express Bill monthly plus I can view my American Express bill on line. American Express will set up a pay by phone option where I simply call an 800# and they debit my bank account @ no cost to me. The paper is simply a security blanket, or I may choose to pay the paper that month rather than the call or vice versa. My question then is what is there to prevent Amex from linking to my ATT on line site and all other bills in a fashion which would permit me to view all charges at the Amex site; link to the other bills and then call authorizing a payment. No fuss, no muss, no charge and any bank is in the loop. Does this seem like a direction that EBPP is taking or am I missing something. For now, I receive my ATT bill on line. I receive my Amex bill on line albeit paper arrives as well and I can authorize payment with a free call. All that is missing is the link from Amex back to my ATT bill ( and by extension all others). Seems like a system whose time is coming. Is CKFR part of such an equation? Or will things get simpler than what I describe? Would appreciate any comments and/or clarifications!!
