SW, RE: AFFI---For those that like stocks on an uptrend, this one has moved down over last several days and is now approaching excellent entrance target of 1.5-1.7. Also, see Internet Report below fundamentals.

Ratio 13.48 Beta 1.53 LT Dbt/Eqty 0.00 BRIEF: Affinity Technology Group develops and markets technologies that enable financial institutions and other businesses to provide consumer financial services electronically with reduced or no human intervention. For the 9 months ended 9/30/98, revenues fell 62% to $2.2M. Net loss rose 1% to $11.1M. Results reflect lower sales and rental fees due to a decreased number of ALMs deployed, partially offset by lower research and development expenses. PRELIMINARY: For the 3 months ended 12/31/1998, revenues were 474; after tax earnings were -3,779. Affinity Technology Group (AFFI): Internet mortgage software provider continues to retreat from its April 14th high of 4 15/32. We again averaged down this afternoon @ 1 3/4, giving us a current cost basis of $2.64 At this juncture we are playing a favorite game of the market maker, that is; identify a volatile stock in an uptrend based on significant volume surges, accumulate on weakness, scale out on strength. Bruce ----I do hold a small position in this stock.
