MARKETING STRATEGY MessageMedia's strategy is to provide a strongly differentiated business-to-business brand by being the first to offer a variety of complementary electronic mail services in all segments of targeted markets. Initially, the Company will use a domestic direct sales force to target the financial services, publishing, e-commerce and direct marketing industries and later, MessageMedia intends to branch out into other domestic and international markets. The Company plans to build critical mass through internal development as well as acquisitions and strategic alliances. Acquisitions will be pursued when core capabilities must be augmented rapidly to meet market needs or when market share can be purchased at a favorable price. In addition, MessageMedia will pursue acquisitions, alliances, and customer opportunities among the SOFTBANK family of companies. Source: sec.gov From this strategy, I believe we will see deals with Ziff-Davis and Yahoo! down the road.

It appears MESG began another breakout today. The last breakout was April 9th which was also a Friday. Breakout meaning increased price and volume. April Low High million shrs 8 10-3/16 11-3/16 .5 9 11-1/4 16-3/4 2.6 12 14-3/16 19-5/8 2.4 13 19-1/4 26-3/4 2.7 14 17-1/2 26 1.3 15 13-5/8 20 1.1 16 .4 29 13-1/2 14-3/4 .2 30 15-5/16 19 1.0 Point being, we will likely see higher prices and volume Monday. The last breakout required 3 days to make an all time high. The news on MESG is good and given sustained interest in internet stocks next week, there is no reason why MESG will not move higher. I must point out, that MessageMedia filed a S-3 Jan 22, 1999 registering 7,063,015 shrs for sale by various entities and people sec.gov These same people were restated Apr 23, 1999 in Form424B3 sec.gov which suggests there are large shareholders out there looking to lighten their load. If MESG runs next week, because of these people looking to sell and daytraders, it may take 2-3 days to reach a new high. In which case, as long as MESG sets a higher HIGH than the day before, consider it a HOLD. The day it fails to push to higher levels you might want to consider it a SELL. I have BOT MESG at 5 and 10, and I'm beginning to think we will not see those prices again anytime soon. Therefore, depending how far you want to ride the MESG wave should temper your decision to SELL.
