Hi J.T. Thank you very much for the kind words. I like the charts too... the funny thing about them is that everyone can look at the same charts and see something different, myself included... in fact, if you look hard enough you can see anything and everything. <ggg> For me, that is more my own fault than the charts, imo.... BWDIK. I try to update when I can. The problem I have is regularly being able to make the time to do it. My goal over the past few months has been weekly updates... sometimes it's a little more, sometimes a little less. My advice is to check periodically, as well as my posting updates here (I always post a full update here). Now if I could find a way to let the computer do all the chart updating for me (copying, and sending) that would be interesting <g>, and make possible more frequent updates, BWDIK. I guess I'd have to figure out some automation program.... i'll wait until i get my new machine to play with that stuff. Do you pay for this service or is it accessible for free? i'm a little confused... what service do you mean.... my charts? The charts are posted gratis by yours truly. there are actually two pages (tyx, and spx, grains, etc.), but as i'm sure you know... both are linked to each other. geocities.com geocities.com there should be a full update sometime this weekend. some have told me I should charge for this info... I just laugh..... others split hairs over my no frills look to the page, I just laugh again.... I'm just posting some charts, nothing more, nothing less. <ggg> Talk to you later, take care Best Regards, Frank

J.T.-It was good to see your recent posts. They bring back fond memories. -I rarely pound the table for a particular stock,but after months of DD and reading everything I could find on PTEK..I think this thing is a major bluelight special!-Book value is reportedly between $13-$15 a share on just its core business. It owns 12% of webmd, and similar stakes in several more soon to launch IPO's. The WEBMD stake is worth from $10-$15 per share to PTEK depending on the daily price of HLTH which agreed to merge/buy WEBMD.WEBMD is getting huge support ie. $$,from the likes of dupont, SUNW,oh yeah ..and MSFT. CNN recently made a deal with WEBMD to use them to access and provide all their Medically related information in return they get more $$ and free advertising. -So far ,heres the good part,none of the deals including the WEBMD deal and a significant stake in USAnet which launches later this week,have been reflected in the stock price. - PTEK has a guaranteed arrangement with WEBMD to be their exclusive provider of Orchestrate (which is their core product)..It allows users to access their mail,and faxes and do all kinds of communications from one mailbox including telephone..all communications get sorted to one place. -The stock is currently trading around $15.5 and has been $13.75 to $20.8750 in the past 2 weeks.I believe it is worth $25 just for its core bus plus its WEBMD stake. This does not include any good will or future earnings potential. -The downside is that it has a large float and lots of folks got in a year ago at higher prices and have been selling into rallies. The company went from over $30 last year to $2.5 last oct. after 2 major clients filed bankruptcy(they accounted for 10% of revenue)They then changed CEO.s and seem to be back on track -Please check them out and tell me what I'm missing!
