By: NoAnchovies Reply To: None Sunday, 17 Jan 1999 at 12:47 PM EST Post # of 7062 Silicon Investor's ("SI") PRWT Thread// ALL-TECH SI's thread has become a continuing dialogue between the 2 infamous bashers. Interestingly, basher Kingsfield is forming conclusions about ALL-TECH, based a piece of information conatined in the Newsday article I posted. Kingsfield's posts are dribble, chock full of innuendo, distortion, admitted guesses and generally derogatory supposition. Don't form any conclusions about ALL-TECH from Kingsfield: all he has done is confirm that ALL-TECH has the financial resources behind them to be considered for the AMEX! Thanks Pan! --------- The following link and excerpt are about Samuel Beckett's existential tragic-comedy, "Waiting for Godot". If ever a statement described our friend from the Arizona desert near Sedona and his schizoprhenic buddy from either North Carolina, Wisconsin or like some WWF wrestlers, "parts unknown", then I believe the following statement does. Think of the 2 bashers as Laurel and Hardy. ---------------- dce.ttu.edu Godot is among the most celebrated examples of what is called "Theatre of the Absurd." Absurdists argue that people today exist in a universe cut off from all roots; that they live in meaningless isolation in an alien world; that life has no sense, no significance beyond what the living may give to it. Translating those philosophical convictions to the stage results not in a series of interconnected incidents telling a story, but in a pattern of images presenting people as bewildered beings in a universe they cannot comprehend. Nevertheless, Godot is, and is intended to be, very funny in performance. It may help to imagine the main roles being played by Laurel and Hardy. ------------ 84 58 (Voluntary Disclosure: Position- long; ST Rating- strong buy; LT Rating- strong buy) John, how's the weather in northern Arizona?

nice article... especially the ending... "We don't sell our customers' orders and then get a kickback for it," said Harvey Houtkin, head of All-Tech Securities and the widely credited "father of electronic trading." Houtkin said the 10-year-old firm places 6,000 to 8,0000 trades a day at its 23 offices across the country. The company now is looking overseas for future growth opportunities, he said, including Germany, Israel, Japan and Canada. Assuming its business plan passes muster with the securities regulators in those countries, Houtkin said, he hopes to bring All-Tech abroad sometime next year. He noted, too, that All-Tech tried to go public during the summer but said "the general brokerage community didn't make (the firm's) life easy." Now that an initial public offering is off the table and business growth is again the top priority, Houtkin said trading volume has doubled since the summer. With interest in day traders, Houtkin said he believes day trading firms are at the early stages of a long-term growth streak. "Wall Street is the ultimate game," he said. "People absolutely crave this and love what they are doing. The general population doesn't understand this. People love nothing more than their money -- maybe their children. It's a way of keeping score."
