Here is a stock to watch. It was @ $.15 just three weeks ago now is approaching $2. This company has a product that the big boys (IBM) will try to acquire. I don't know what the top is but I'm holding out for $10-20
see related news story, volume has been over a million three days running. expect more news next week. Looking at the volume it looks as if all the insiders are getting positioned. Remember the SmartCard in Europe is huge. I have personally called contacts in Europe that have addressed that this company is putting deals together and we should be in double digit numbers in a week or two with the projected announcements coming out.

About Frankfurt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frankfurt am Main might be the smallest of Europe's big cities, but it's certainly not lacking in stature. With more than 400 international banks and an active stock exchange, Frankfurt is graced with the only skyscraper skyline in Germany. Throughout its 1,200-year history, the city has been linked to international trade, commerce and transportation, giving it a dual reputation as being business minded...and dull.
It is without a question the transportation hub of Europe: The continent's second-largest airport and busiest train station are located there. (Those who contend that the city lacks spark always point out all this transportation activity: They say it's further proof that everyone just wants to get out of town.) While many people who fly or ride the rails into Frankfurt are simply making a connection, many other travelers spend a few days there every year. For more than 600 years, Frankfurt has been one of Europe's most active host cities, welcoming scores of annual international trade fairs. With European monetary union approaching, the city is poised to play a leading role in the unfolding drama, as the home of the European Monetary Institute.
