Arthur, How do you get data on money flows for individual stocks? I've been interested in this ever since I read the interview of Lazlo Birinyi in Barron's two weeks ago. Nelson

arthur...i agree, i agree...the truth is stranger than fiction! what is good for trading is not necessarily good for investing...the end result is to accrue wealth.. my question is on the fundamentals....how can huge revenues generate little or no profit and yet cash flows in.....a bit of a self fufilled prophecy....venture capitalists, investment bankers,pour more and more in and get exponential returns on ipo investment...perhaps contrived manipulation....i'm not singling out aol or other more reputable issues(if there is such a thing)...but look at a priceline.com...msdw took it public with a 100m loss on its books and the market cap now $2b....this is the absurdity....if you were a "conventional" banker would you lend money in this situation...i question the capability of most .com managements...driving business into the ground and being "personally" rewarded with huge wealth from an ipo...a bit of a scam..but payback to the initial venture investors...it's a concept that creates something from nothing....at some point, somebody will get burned on 80% of the .coms...and it won't be the venturists or the principals... ed a. would like to see the fruits of your analytical labors....
