Sure, I would appreciate a link to the demographics statistics. Thanks. I'm somewhat leery about the performance of JBOH over the next month or so myself. The next earnings don't come out for a while and JBOH may drift for a while. I'm extremely positive going longer than that. I don't think the run in the online brokers is nearly done and I believe JBOH will continue to maintain its small percentage share of the market. Advertising is probably key at this point. I've heard a statistic that currently about 5% of trades are done online. A gut feeling is that people trade at least twice as much on line than they would if they had to place a call to a broker. If that's true, it should translate very well into profits as investors continue to go online as fast as they currently are. I think JBOH will see much better than the fifteen cents/share they earned last quarter. (My opinions only and I'm not saying I'm right.) Obviously I don't agree with your outlook, but I appreciate that you didn't slam me after I said I was long. Most people seem to lash out at anyone who is on the opposite side of the stock.

Goldman Sachs should make Monday INTERESTING! Goldman Sachs is finally going public. thestreet.com <..."It's going to have multiple effects," said Gary Kaminsky, managing director of the private banking group at SG Cowen. First effects will be seen in how other financial stocks -- companies like Merrill Lynch (MER:NYSE), J.P. Morgan (JPM:NYSE) and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (MWD:NYSE) -- perform. If the heavily oversubscribed IPO goes as well as people expect, it could change the way people think about how the financials are priced. Yet there are cross currents here, at least in the very near term. Portfolio managers who are strict about their sector allocations will want to sell off some of their other financial holdings to make way for Goldman> of course, it could go either way- but I don't think Monday will be dull. WebDrone p.s., Waterhouse is moving along towards IPO- biz.yahoo.com <TD Waterhouse, the third-largest online discount brokerage operations globally by trading volume and customer assets, said it would use net proceeds from the share offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Those include investments in technology and systems upgrades investments and increases in advertising and marketing budgets. The company may also use some of the proceeds to finance acquisitions of other companies, although it does not have nay pending or proposed significant acquisitions. It also plans to repay certain debt to Toronto-Dominion Bank.> While I hope Waterhouse will help crush JBOH, you longs can hope for a takeover bid. And that's what makes it a horserace. WebDrone
