IFLY/IFLYW : A profitable I-net! The company has gotten its ducks in a row and has promised a PR blitz beginning with yesterday's earnings and the announcement of having retained a top tier company to advise on merger/acquisition candidates. Yet to come: 1) The official website launch. (Hopefully with a revamped version) 2) A Spanish version of same. 3) Cruise offerings. 4) Rental car offerings. 5) Hotel reservations. 6) Possible portal alliance, rumored to be Excite. IPOs this and next week of CheapTix.com and Priceline.com should spotlight the I-net travel industry. IFLY/IFLYW moves big on news. 1.4M float. Disclosure: I have a modest long position in IFLYW.

CM, thanks for your take on the TUNEs. I have not been watching the daytraders room lately, as it has been too much of a temptation to want to play along. . .and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS results in a loss, no matter how small. [more shorts there than longs = no mo' mo mo] TCI told me personally, about 4 months ago, that TUNE convertible preferred would be converting into 3 shares of TUNE convertible common, which would be converting into LBTYA. But when T came along, their INITIAL plan was to have a tracking stock called, A T and T Consumer Services. . which would be born out of LBTYA[B] and TCIVA[B]. But there was no mention of what would happen to the TUNE convertibles. So it became a waiting game. All of your arguments are sound. . .and I agree with your logic completely. That is why I begged everyone to help me call to get some answers to the questions this rumor spawned. Glad to hear that movement was just based on P and D. Thanks for your information. Rande Is
