Mike, Reasons for getting in: bot 1000 FHT 18 9/16 A solid company with a huge data base. Rumor that FHT will tap into e-com. biz. IMO, with their marketing experience, they will be a strong contender in e-commerce. Earning report is due this Thursday. (If the earning is bad and the price drops 2 point, could be a good time to get in) From Perry & Co:Fingerhut -- $16.25 (NYSE: FHT - news) It's just a matter of time before they change their name to FingerHut.com. The hand writing is on the wall. If ever there was a company that could naturally make a progression from print (catalog) to the Internet, it has to be Fingerhut. They're making money, they have money, their products enjoy healthy profit margins and they don't have to pay the gate-keepers to attract surfers to their sites. Nice. Has stakes in PC Flowers, MountainZone and Freeshop among others. Internet beneficiary. 612-932-3100. Web-Site: fingerhut.com bot 1000 IATV 5 3/16 Recommend from Hoffy. Let's see if IMON luck continues. BOT 1500 NTN 1 15/16 Rumor and chart & volume (you know... higher the risk higher the return, get burn or get double) Nothing fundamental here. BOT 1000 ASCT 4 1/4 Thanks to TJ our leader. BOT 2000 ITEC 1 19/32 Same as NTN, this could be pump and dump or actually take off. Taking high risk. SOLD 1000 AMD 22 1/16 Bot because I thought the market over reacted to the earning report. I was going to hold till $25 (which I think should be the fair value at this point), but FHT looked juicer. (Still, $100 profit is better than nothing<g>) SOLD 400 WCTI 15 1/16 I really like this stock. Profit taking here. Will get a lot more if the price pull back under $14. (Maybe I sold too early with XCIT going on) SOLD 600 CS 10 5/16 Taking profit. Not much reasoning, but hope this help, Jon
