Yes, I'm sure that is the answer. Therefore...I have nothing to say. Cute thread though...I'll bet it draws a lot of lurkers. Awwww, hell. BIOM would be my best speculative pick. To tell you the truth, I don't own it, really I don't, hehhe. But I'd really like to know why it just seems to tick down each day lately. Seems to me, just about anything could get it to explode...a rumor, some positive PR from the company...Biomira is probably followed by a lot of folks, so there would be massive pile on in a short time.

WELL GENTLEMEN,LOOKS LIKE WE ARE NOT DONE WITH OUR CHINESE PLAYS YET....plus we have a extra bonus to this play,we have what many consider the next hot fad in the internet sector...and this play is actually brought to us via the INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY.... We've got an absolutely incredible deal that's going to go down later this week – and one that's a no-brainer for all of our followers...It's SLOAN ELECTRONICS.....SLEL OTC:BB barrington.edu spanishuniversity.edu 8legs.net salientcyber.com under construction It's going to be a .com deal, and one that we expect will perform far better than our most-recent success, LCS-Golf (LCSG on OTC – BB). The industry? "Distance learning". Here are a few tidbits about our SLEL: SLEL is a fully-reporting company listed on the OTC-BB, currently doing about $7 or $8 million in income from manufacturing sources, plus a rapidly-growing block of revenues from some distance learning universities / on-line education services that they own. The company is currently generating a profit, and is positioned to grab a significant market stake in this rapidly growing sector of the economy. SLEL is going to be announcing a name change later this week to Salient Cyber .Com (possibly Wednesday or Thursday). Our promotional efforts are going to kick off just as soon as the .com news release hits the wires. No one knows about SLEL, nor how big they are. There's not one thread that talks about them on the chat lines. These folks have done their homework, and have a solid flow of real news releases to follow in the coming weeks. This firm is a thoroughbred, with solid legs to run on for many, many months. Oh, did I mention that the float on this *.com play is only about one million shares? The distance learning industry has incredible potential. Investors Business Daily (February 11, 1999) said that this sector is expected to grow at a pace of at least 33% annually. A research report published by B.T. Alex Brown (January 1999) pegs the size of the distance learning market at US$150 billion. As you can tell, I'm excited about this one – would you like to hear more as the deal progresses? Call Richard Miller at 516-522-2737 or 516-771-9533 for more information
