I have played BII from a long position and a short position over 50 times in the last month. I fail to see what everyone is arguing about. With the volume BII trades every day makes it easier to trade in/out than it does trying to decide whether to go long/short for the long term. To many traders in these baby playing games. In closing, good luck to everyone long or short.

>>>The simple facts are that this company has major obstacles in its way to achieving a NASD listing, least of which is the huge number of outstanding shares, lack of strong institutional support, ridiculous dilutions, high burn rates, slim margins, lack of profile, weak alliances, etc. etc. The list goes on.<<< ALL of those items you have mentioned have NOTHING to do with whether BII gets a NASDAQ listing. Are you sure you understand the basics of investing? Let's break them down: huge number of outstanding shares Although I believe that the number of shares outstanding is relatively high compared to other similar NASDAQ players, the number of shares outstanding, especially 50M shares, is not an obstacle. Come to think of it, most similar NASDAQ companies do have shares outstanding closer to the 50M that BII has, they were just held internally and the owners were refrained from trading because of their IPOs. Are you sure you understand investing? lack of strong institutional support Well, to list on the NASDAQ, do you need strong institutional support? Funny, I didn't read that in the NASDAQ Listing Requirements! Come to think of it, are you sure they don't have strong institutional support? Are you sure or are you just speculating? ridiculous dilutions I got to laugh at this one. Are you sure you understand the basics of investing? Isn't your argument on huge number of outstanding shares actually just another term for rediculous dilutions! Kris, you're starting to repeat yourself, certainly not a good sign for a lawyer in battle! high burn rates Well, I would have to agree that BII does have a high burn rate. But so does every other Internet company trying to grow at 50% to 100% annually. That's the whole point, Kris, get market share. After the battle is done and you've won a fair share of the market, then start getting profits. Oh, BTW, what does high burn rates have to do with getting a NASDAQ listing? Are you sure you understand the basics of investing? slim margins Well, I do agree that they have slim margins. Some of their other market focuses, such as business-to-business, may help - only time will tell with that one. Oh, BTW, what does slim margins have to do with getting a NASDAQ listing? Are you sure you understand the basics of investing? lack of profile Hmmm, lack of profile. I guess that's you're call, not mine. The most highly traded stock on the TSE over the past four months. Hmmm, let's see, not much profile there! Oh, BTW, what does lack of profile have to do with getting a NASDAQ listing? Are you sure you understand the basics of investing? weak alliances WOW, I didn't know having AOL as a partner would be considered weak? What about Rogers? What about a board member from Microsoft? Not what I would call weak, but that's your words! Oh, BTW, what does weak alliances have to do with getting a NASDAQ listing? Are you sure you understand the basics of investing? etc. etc. The list goes on. Kris, better dig out the list cause so far, everything you posted was GARBAGE!

DELL down $11 on instanet.Kris if BII has made a SEC application then they should have year end statements complete . Why do you think they are not releasing them now ? As well I noticed Yorkton now officially a Nasdaq market maker. I see them selling lots of stock lately, if they can't hold the price, swoosh down hard. I expect to see even more movement to the down side very shortly. BII had said they expected to do $8 mill. plus in 4 th. qtr.98 now they are saying significant gains over 4 qtr. 97. Sounds like possible back pedaling?? They did little in 97 .
