BKS doesn't look to me like its going to double in two weeks. the trend was in mildly bullish uptrend and there is support at 33 and resistance is 35 1/4. BKS dropped below both its 50 day and 10 moving average. In the last 30 days one of its "strong buys" was removed leaving it with 2 from 3. Both the MACD and Momentum indicators gave a bearish sell signal today. It has a growth rate of 17% a year going forward which is okay. The internet and techs recovered today but not BKS. There was a lot of insider selling in BKS in March which could or may not mean much: KLIPPER, MITCHELL S.

Of course something interesting COULD happen in a week, but then you will see a clearer signal.

BKS.. people did get burned as I just read on another popular thread. I've often cautioned against getting 'turned on' by anyone's overwhelming enthusiasm about any particular stock. I was not bullish on BKS from the outset and did not see the golden pot at the end of the BKS IPO rainbow. I have stated as much in 4 posts plus a half dozen e-mail. Yet some people managed to get burned notwithstanding. I will continue to try to help by 'neutralizing' outrageously, enthusiastic ebullient claims and to hope to prevent losses by our traders as a direct consequence of this hyping. So if I seem a little harsh at times to hyping, the historical prices below are the reason. techstocks.com Message 9351027 techstocks.com techstocks.com Chart of BKS from May 6 DATE CLOSING PRICE OPEN HIGH LOW VOLUME -------- ------------- -------- -------- -------- ----------- 6/04/1999 29 1/16 29 5/16 29 5/8 28 3/8 564,800 6/03/1999 29 7/16 28 13/16 29 9/16 27 7/8 712,800 6/02/1999 28 5/8 26 15/16 28 11/16 26 5/8 993,900 6/01/1999 27 3/8 27 7/16 28 26 9/16 1,076,000 5/28/1999 28 3/16 28 5/8 28 5/8 27 15/16 618,100 5/27/1999 28 1/4 29 1/16 29 1/16 28 1/8 817,300 5/26/1999 28 15/16 29 29 7/8 28 1/2 1,464,500 5/25/1999 28 3/8 32 1/4 33 1/8 28 1/8 3,534,500 5/24/1999 31 3/4 34 7/8 35 30 15/16 1,863,500 5/21/1999 34 7/8 33 7/16 36 33 1/4 1,780,100 5/20/1999 33 7/16 33 33 13/16 32 7/8 706,100 5/19/1999 33 34 34 1/4 32 5/8 706,600 5/18/1999 33 7/8 33 5/16 34 9/16 33 1/4 646,500 5/17/1999 33 3/16 34 1/16 34 3/16 32 11/16 772,800 5/14/1999 34 5/16 35 35 34 472,300 5/13/1999 35 1/8 35 3/8 35 3/8 34 5/8 578,400 5/12/1999 35 1/8 35 5/8 35 11/16 34 1/2 475,400 5/11/1999 35 1/2 34 1/2 35 7/8 33 3/4 732,700 5/10/1999 34 7/16 36 36 3/16 34 3/8 461,200 5/07/1999 35 3/4 35 1/2 36 3/8 35 7/16 625,000 5/06/1999 35 1/4 34 5/8 36 3/8 33 5/8 943,000 Chart of BNBN, since it IPO'ed DATE CLOSING PRICE OPEN HIGH LOW VOLUME -------- ------------- -------- -------- -------- ----------- 6/04/1999 16 1/2 17 1/4 17 1/4 16 1/2 1,502,000 6/03/1999 16 7/8 18 1/8 18 1/8 16 3/4 1,882,500 6/02/1999 17 3/16 19 3/4 19 3/4 16 3/8 5,929,100 6/01/1999 20 22 1/2 23 3/16 19 1/2 3,809,100 5/28/1999 23 3/16 24 1/2 24 5/8 22 5/8 3,574,300 5/27/1999 24 26 7/16 26 5/8 23 7/16 43,302 5/26/1999 25 5/8 26 26 1/4 24 3/16 9,502,900 5/25/1999 22 15/16 25 26 1/2 22 3/4 33,874,500
