OFF TOPIC: <<I was wondering if you compare these two(atms,dbd) who would be the better choice?>> Diebold is huge compared to ATMS. Next to Diebold, ATMS is a peanut. However, it's a peanut whose stock has a far better chance of doubling by, say, 12/31/99 than does Diebold, which sports a far higher PE, much slower growth, and is trading rather poorly these days (there was a major downgrade recently). This said, I think there's a distinct possibility that DBD (or another large ATM company) may want to buy out ATMS after the latter's ITM machines strike paydirt, not that I'd use a potential buyout as a reason to buy a stock. I only mentioned ATMS on this board because it's analogous in several ways to IATV: low priced, obscure but getting known, and a new angle on using the internet.
