I don't know if there is any regulatory prohibition against LCSG mailing their list with info about their company, but just imagine the cumulative net worth and investable assets of 3.2 million golfers being alerted to this stock. They also have an opt-in list of 100,000+ people interested in the stockmarket. That is an untapped email distribution 2X as large as the other services that sent out emailings this weekend. Anyone got thoughts on whether or not LCSG can do this? Even if they just send out a mailing about golfuniverse.com with a plain vanilla paragraph about golf universe is owned by LCS Golf, a publicly traded holding company... What's to stop them from putting that at the bottom of every email they send out other than the possibility that it would annoy people after a while? Alex

<<You long, short, or no position, Chip?>> Jim: I have no position in LCSG but must admit that even though I "bashed" the methods that I've seen being used, it is easy to get caught up in the excitement and I could almost be enticed to jump in for a few shares (go ahead Alex and laugh at me). I think my problem with this is that I invest about 95% in boring stocks with track records, revenues and profits. The penny stock market tends to move much more on speculation which scares an old fart like me. Over the years I have seen too many people get caught up in the excitement and buy stocks that are little more than hype.....almost always the little investor is the one to get burned. BUT, you hate to miss out if such as stock really does take off. Sorry if I offended anyone with my posts but this sure does make me nervous. I may be wrong but time will tell. Good luck to all. Keep pulling for my Wal_Mart! Chip
