I design custom furniture for well to do clients. These designs must embrace equipment and componets which are on the edge of technology. I am fortunate. I get to see the future before it reaches the masses. The old notion of "cacooning" is not dead. The trend continues. It is more prevelant than ever to cozy up to a 19 or 21" monitor with fast ADSL or cable feeds, and explore the net, or tune into TV information stations like CNBC or special interest informercials (which is SATH's essence). It's all electronic communication and all will converge into one externalized network of nerves. Working at home is growing, due to the linking of business sites and information services. Computer Aided design drawings can be whiteboarded (ADSK) from state to state. Rice can be purchased in china and sold in Japan (PNLK), and catalogue sales and auctions are more fun and convenient (SHRP, SPGLA, EBAY), not to mention the explosion of online trading in the market. This new future of being at home with electrons and avoiding the ink on printed slivers of trees is here to stay and growing every day. (the inherent profit in an internet site versus printing a catalogue is thousands fold) SATH is in position to grow into this newly developing future. They may or may not make the grade. But they are in good shape to give it a good try. This is probably as good a stock to buy and put away for a few years as any other right now. Time will tell. In the meantime, I will continue to trade in and out as the changes dictate, but overall, I don't want to be out of this stock when it happens. And it will. Barry.
