QuietWon, I hear you very clear. I stopped up to the factory last August on my way to Canada. Not only are they selling in excess of 200,000 BEAR's a year, they recently added a second shift, and have been charging people to do tours of their facilities. I think they make more there than on BEAR sales. They also retail a number of items besides BEAR's. I think their income and potential went up dramatically when they went on Yahoo recently. I think I saw 105 items for sale there alone. Anyway your questions were good ones and I think someone should look at their international intentions.

Regards,
Roy

BEAR in discussions with AOL, Excite, Lycos and others, according to company president with whom I spoke today. She also said earnings will be out Feb. 16 or earlier...she sounded upbeat but could not of course comment further. It wouldn't surpise me if announcement(s) of further online alliances were part of upcoming earnings release. I tired to buy another 10K this afternoon at 1 7/8 but it didn't get filled. I suspect there will quite a runup in the next week or so and so will try to average down in the next few days before the news hits.
