Robert G, How long do you plan on holding your Checkfree??? Can you say??? I can't believe the growth possibilities and market potential Checkfree has. IMO writing a check five years from now will seem very abnormal, almost like waiting on line at a bank nowadays instead of using the trusty old ATM. I try to automate as many activities as possible, using Chase/Quickbooks Pro for my business accounts has saved me 5 hours a month. I can't wait for the future. Wait a second, maybe the future is now??? Regards, Rob

In my opinion, the stock has been trading a lot differently these last few months. I think it has developed a new following....for better or worse? Smaller investors have been climbing aboard. Day traders, speculators, I don't know. It goes down, but comes right back. The price volatility is much greater. Anything can happen. Yea...the black H's, I remember those from when I use to read newspapers. Go, Baby Go! (as she smokes a new all-time-high), like the thrill of doing your first doughnut in a parking lot. It's the weather Bob....we finally got some.

>>>Pete Kight has an unusually strong grasp and understanding of his business and he articulates it well. He conveys a good sense of knowing where he wants to go and how to get there. Well I guess you are going to get two from me in one day. For those like Charlie who have watched me come to grips with this Company in my own warped mind...ie various e-bill distribution models, that was a good post over a year ago. One on One, NetDelivery-ed, PFM, Consolidated..etal. I guess I'd have to say I'm in the comfort zone, but not comfortable at this point.....(ie..posts really dropped down on an all time high, I take that as bullish, but yet I wonder) The Yahoo deal could be a sell on news, since it ain't news...and then it could be the event which ligitimizes e-bill before the web-citizens and propels this stock beyond realistic valuation, because of one thing, we are a player...one could only hope. One thing I do firmly believe...that is; at even $45, $95, $135, $185 this sucker is too fricken cheap....IMO. Time, Time is going to prove me right or wrong. As far as your comments on selling too early....do this; get your money back on the first split, let it ride to the next one take it back again...repeat If you can get that why sell? EVER..... CheckFree ought to announce their first split at $80, 2 for one...IMO.

here's another great post from SI land....... To: Vendit (914 ) From: TLindt Monday, Mar 29 1999 9:07PM ET Reply # of 920 >>>this is IMO the best thread in SI land. I am glad to hear that others are profiting from MACD....I really am. I have found it to be most useful in timing those stocks which interest me enough to invest my money into....take the emotion out of the UPS and DOWNS....make Money short-term & Increase Position as time passes in the ones I feel to be good stocks....for me. If this thread has helped you buy a dip and sell a top and make some money...or increased a core position on 'good' trades...more power to you. If only one can profit...I'm satisfied. When I started this game in 1982 at 700 DOW something...and it really hasn't changed much since then 8 of 10 folks in the market loose money...ie a lot of folks who use to post on SI don't anymore(since July & August...they're gone)...and IMO...it isn't because their investment ideas are 80% flawed....it's EMOTION & TIMING just as much as a particular company(GREED/FEAR). Too greedy to sell a top, and too fearful to buy a bottom. MACD takes the EMOTION out of it for me....MACD for me is like a whether forecast....if it's suppose to rain and does I'm not emotionally set back to do the wrong thing when all the news is positive and the stock price tanks. It's just the weather and that happens....EMOTIONALLY I have an umbrella which keeps me on track. If I could just sum all that crap up in one sentence it would be; MACD has made me do the things I want to do, when I don't want to do them. If that makes sense.
