Thanks John, I am more interested by the association with inktomi then the rest of the stuff, I think the article at least deserves some fun money. Hell I still have 100 shares of Bre-x minerals HA!!! Happy hunting and thanks for the insight Dave

John: what a terrific post, one of the best, if not the best, since I joined SI a long time ago. The stock will still go up IMO but I concluded I would sleep better "buying elsewhere" and stopped my DD on SLEU.

I think you have some facts wrong. First, SJI can't be selling their stock in SLEU since their stock is RESTRICTED 144 paper that won't be free trading till late 1999. Second, it appears that when SJI owned Maverick, it was only a captive unit used to host that company's own cigar web site, and hosting the sleuth search engine came later. Plus, they only owned the rights to buy the engine, but obviously didn't know what they had, since they let it go for only paper which wasn't worth much at the time. Third, your counting of how many shares traded Friday doesn't mean anything. Actually, if you know anything about BB stocks, you should know that any reported volume on any OTC stock needs to be divided by at least 2 to account for double counting (the buy and sell). In some BB stocks that number is closer to 3. I do think you are right in one respect, that the number of real shares out there does not make sense. There probably is more stock than the 2.7 listed on several spots. I plan to check this out more. As to that contact being the same guy, I was told that the reason that is the case is that he was helpful in getting the Maverick division sold by SJI and that he was given a chance to work on the sleu account. I also did a check of his name on press releases and found quite a few other companies that his firm represents, including several NASDAQ listed companies, an AMEX company and several other pretty tame situations. Hey I bought some of this earlier last week and I hope it works out. I think the search engine is real good and anyone building a portal based on an established search engine (as opposed to something still under development) has a good chance of being valued highly in this market. At least that's my take on this one.

Analyst Report Compensated by ISleuth. John, following up your comment's in message 108 "Caveat Emptor" The Stock Investor Internet Newsletter 1/9/99 soon to be available at www.stockinvestor.com features a strong buy recommendation of ISleuth.com. On its website it says The focus of Stock Investor is to bring you qualified Buy Recommendations that have been issued by Wall Street analysts. The Outfit that wrote the report NIC (National Investors Council) has been compensated $5,000 for the preparation of this report by the subject company of such report. This was Omitted/Caught off in the posting in message 102 that announced the stock selection/report. ISleuth it seems got a much better deal than, SJI Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SJIG), major shareholder of ISLEUTH.COM with 1,500,000 million restricted common shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares. SJI compensated The Future Super Stock Internet newsletter/web site a quarter million dollars to be it's May 1998 stock profile. see futuresuperstock.com. I'm expecting great things from ISleuth, but investors should know this report comes from an outfit that was compensated for it. In the future we hope to have independent analysts touting the company.
