VRIO.. I'm holding unless I report a sell and not likely. I just put 200 GNET in my intermediate/long term portfolio. It is my feeling you should always have a small portion of a good 'net stock.. I used to hold cmgi but I like the more variety in being able to pick and choose.

Watch list January 28 and January 29 (the elusive numbers) Watch List for January 28, 1999 Sometimes when I prepare the newsletter I like to put some stocks aside as alternates I usually discard them because of technical reasons. Once in a while a stock that is discarded improves to such an extent that it 'shouts' to take a prominent position back into the watch list/newsletter CLYS is such a stock. Pay special attention tomorrow to CLYS and SFA reports tomorrow and CLYS reports on Friday. Same with ZRAN these three are for tomorrow and will provide the best opportunity. The others can provide opportunity through Friday but of course anything can happen tomorrow. Still bullish on our internets especially with great report from MSPG. PVSW reported after the close and beat estimates.

Earnings out tomorrow, someone knows something? Watch this tomorrow. On November 4, 1998 Hambrecht & Quist: 'A BUY rating was maintained.

It reports after the close so obviously if it moves down ignore it. If it moves up it could be a good daytrade if it breaks through resistance of 15 1/2 it could conceivably be a play through earnings, but here there is risk. ZRAN has an interesting chart. looks like it might reverse. Relative strength is bullish and stochastics are oversold. Resistance is at 15 1/2. 1/14/99: Preferred Capital Markets, Inc., a brokerage firm servicing both institutional and individual investors with a focus in technology, telecommunications and medical technology, today upgraded its rating of Zoran Corporation (Nasdaq: ZRAN - news) to a BUY from an ACCUMULATE rating and a twelve-month price target of $20.
