Stockroach, personally, I think CREAF has loads of potential. But the management's biggest problem is lack of focus. They seem to make half-assed enatrances into new markets that they could dominate, but then have product problems, poor pricing scemes, lack of aggresiveness, etc. I think the biggest thing the STOCK has going for it is that '98 has really made everyone pissed off at the company. So upside will be double if things actually turn out pretty good. A good year where CREAF realizes its potential would surprise everyone, I think! Brian

Hello stockroach. Good to hear from you again. I am now cautiously optimistic about this stock for 99. I know it does have loads of upside potential, but it always seems to have that. But realizing that potential is a whole 'nother question. To borrow a phrase, frustration, thy name is CREAF! <G> I really think the key for them is learning how to COMMUNICATE with the street. They must find a way to tell the street that they have a vision and a plan that looks more than 3-6 months out and they know how to get there. But business as usual will result in more of the same from the stock. I don't think it is a numbers game anymore. I think the key is management and it's image. This stock come with a 50% Sim discount attached. He has to find a way to reduce that discount. CEO's are supposed to be a positive to their stocks, not a negative. Dennis
