Gotta like it. stockhouse.com MCF's iFront is currently an exhibitor at the fifth annual Internet and Electronic Commerce Conference and Exposition, which is considered to be the single largest and most important e-commerce symposium of the year. What is interesting, however, is that Microsoft [MSFT:NASDAQ] actually invited iFront to the show specifically so that Marco Argenti, iFront's CEO, could give a special one-hour seminar titled "E-Commerce 101: The Ten Golden Rules of E-Commerce". "So what?" you say. Being an invited guest speaker of Microsoft does not get you excited. Maybe you should realize that this show is held New York, you know, near Wall Street. Still no excitement? Well, the Insider Group heard from sources at the seminar that members of the audience where actually making phone calls during the presentation to get information on iFront, Microforum and its stock, and that is likely what sparked the breakout in MCF trading today. The momentum eventually took the share price to a $4.95 close, up $1.06 on volume of 4.3 million shares. "Coincidence" you say. Consider then that Argenti's scheduled seminar time was 11:30am to 12:30pm. Now have a peak at the intraday chart for MCF and note the failed early morning attempt at a break through $$ and then note precisely when MCF succeeding in breaking above $4 starting its charge to $5. The show continues tomorrow, but today's performance indicates that MCF is still a largely unknown commodity in the all-important U.S. market, but we suspect that is quickly changing.

ISM - used by online and discount brokers - is down AGAIN!!! It's going to be at least a 20 minute wait to place an order over the phone. I think I'm gonna find a full service broker to keep on the side lines. At least, until IBM and online trading firms can get their shit together. I just hate paying a full brokerage fee when I do all the work. I've heard that TD, Schwaab, and others are down as well. Any confirmations on this?
