Good morning all!! Well, hopefully we will see a good solid move upward today! But, If this is the only news this week (I know there is supposed to be another announcement) this would not be a good sign and I don't think the share price would react kindly. Also, I don't know where, but I had gotten the impression that the web site opening was fact, not rumor. I know, my bad, poor dd. If this thing does not open, another bad sign. Don't get me wrong, I am in 4000 @ 2 7/8, and would like to be convinced otherwise! I just see some signs of a really good pump on this stock - although I do feel, from what I know (or think I know) that this company could still be a dandy. Hopefully, some of you will get a chance to talk to the new PR firm today! GO ALFN Paullie

The site seems to be working. It may have just been a bad connection, or they may have been doing some sort of change momentarily. Today should be interesting. We've got some news out, we should be getting some concrete answers from our new PR firm and interest is still high in the company's plan. Everybody hold tight. The short-termers are pretty much weeded out which allows the longs to hold for future news and the website. -smacs-

I just got off the phone with Mike Porter from ALFN. There are such enormous things brewing with the company that we will see over the next few weeks and months that we are clearly in our infancy with this company. My patience will pay off in a big way over the next few weeks and months as ALFN becomes a giant in the toy industry. What has captured my imagination is Mike Porter's keen understanding of marketing to the various kid age groups. Here's what we have going for us in ALFN: 1. Corporate Web Site going live next week- probably Monday to feature their full line of toys. 2. E-Commerce Interactive Web Site which will be much bigger than we expect. We will find out more about that probably later in the week. 3. Some sort of big Retail Chain deal (Mike was very tight lipped on this one). 4. A new third generation voice technology group of toys which will make the Furbies look like a joke. Mike Porter is a marketing genius and these should take the toy industry by storm. This is especially when you consider that Mattel bought The Learning Company (software company). As technology and the toy industry converge - expect ALFN to lead the way. 5. Collectibles in the $1-$2 dollar range should do at least as well as Bean Babies have done. Remember that Bean Babies took 3 years to catch on. Our internet Site will shorten this time period to weeks or months. I have always found Mike Porter to be sincere, honest and direct without crossing the fine line of insider info. He can't give it and I don't want it. Best to the longs.......Norms :)
