Just curious. Why do you want the T&S for INTXA? I thought thay maybe they would perform exactly like HELO, which I bought in the aftermarket and called on Tuesday (that is, be on CNBC the next day). I was right on the mark on HELO, which would have really exploded yesterday, if not for the Brazil "situation". However, unlike in the case of HELO, where no one would contact me until after the CNBC announcement, I did get a call back from INTXA, today, before the close, to state, emphatically, that no one from INTXA would be on CNBC tomorrow. The one that has me wondering is ATEA. It is a local company, and someone bought 2 million shares in 2 1 million share blocks today. VERY UNUSUAL!!! I have not been able to find out what is going on, and nobody will return my phone calls. It sure looks like a take-out to me. I would love to know what is going on. However, in the mean time, I would accumulate the stock at any opportunity. People don't just go out and buy over 2 million shares of a company with a float of 4.9 million shares!!!! Some interesting numbers, however, are Price/sales=0.56, and price/book=0.64. Looks like someone is buying!!! NETS, WSTL looking REAL good, especially WSTL. They are supplying the hardware for the Bell Atlantic ADSL buildout that will provide internet access at up to 7.5 MBPS on the downstream and 640K on the upstream. This one is going places!! If you want to see a stock that REALLY has the potential to take off, look at HCT. Here is a company with REAL earnings, it is in a hot market (cellular and cable TV), and it has a float of only 290K shares!! Other statistics: price/sales=1.14, P/E=9.23, Price/Book=1.13, AND, BEST OF ALL, SHORT INTEREST IS OVER 42 DAYS!!!!! Just imagine what would happen if each person who sees this message bought 100 shares. Can you say $50/share?? Just a thought?!? Good trading, Ed
