BUZZ AAC looks outstanding, I think $2-3 maybe even more significant run next year.
Bluetorch - relax and buy the damm stock!
Terrorism fears probably have been played out last week and everyone will have been burned out worrying about it by next week but at some point (hopefully after Christmas) this development could become very serious. Who has a list of legit homeland security companies like INVN, food radiation related, anthrax related, any contracted Darpa related or defense related in case of an invasion into Iran?
Report: Iranians
hiding bin Laden
Disguised al-Qaida leaders plotting attacks, Tehran helping warlord retake Afghanistan

Citing an "unimpeachable source," Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri are in Iran, according to a Fox News analyst.
Al-Zawahiri was seen within the last two weeks, and bin Laden was spotted in July, says the network's foreign affairs analyst Mansoor Ijaz.
The report dovetails with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's announcement last summer that he had sent his own army into the northern tribal areas near the border with Iran to ferret out bin Laden.
"That was an extraordinary admission at the time, one that I could not understand how he could make if bin Laden, in fact, was still in that area," Ijaz told Fox News host Brit Hume. "Well, it turns out that it was around that time that bin Laden moved from the Afghan-Pakistani border into Iran."
Al-Zawahiri has been seen recently in Iran planning and plotting various terrorist attacks against U.S. interests and other countries, he said.
Both al-Qaida leaders are disguised. Bin Laden, Ijaz has been told, shaved his head bald and is wearing a shorter beard that is dyed to make him look more like an Iranian cleric. He also has put on a considerable amount of weight.
Al-Zawahiri has done something similar, Ijaz said, and is now wearing a black turban and dyed beard instead of the traditional white turban he wore as an Egyptian cleric.
Bin Laden is being kept out of the public while al-Zawahiri is said to be moving around quite freely, Ijaz said.
The analyst said the Revolutionary Guard of Iran has arranged for at least three to four body doubles that are making their way around different parts of Afghanistan to fool bin Laden's pursuers.
"But I can tell you with unimpeachability tonight that he is on the western border of Iran, inside Iran, planning terrorist attacks against the United States' interests in that part of the world," Ijaz said.
He explained that Iran's provision of safe harbor, finances and logistical support for al-Qaida is a measure to counter the possibility that U.S. action in that region could result in democracies on both sides of the country, in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ijaz said a warlord who controls Afghanistan's western provinces, Gulbuddin Hektmayer, is working with al-Qaida on a plan to bring a large army of Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops into Afghanistan during the winter months to attack U.S. interests and to try to take control of the entire country.
"Iran does not want to see us succeed in building a democracy in Afghanistan under any circumstances," he said.
In short, according to Ijaz, Iranian technology is now being used to help the Afghan warlords to take over the country from Hamid Karzai," the Afghan president.
Ijaz said it is likely certain segments of the U.S. government have the information on bin Laden and are analyzing and processing it.
"But it was my judgment, he said, "that it was vitally important for the broader part of our government's decision-making apparatus to know exactly what it is that's going on there, because it's very clear that the Iranians are trying desperately to not only hang on to power, but to fuel the terrorist enterprise in that part of the world."
Anybody catch Monsoor Ijaz on fox news, claims his intelligence sources pretty definite that Osama and Al Zawahiri are being harbored, hidden and funded by Iran to plan major attacks against us interests.
now release something we might find interesting, dammit!
Buzz thats no mannequin to a guy thats been in the pen for 20 years just think of him as Catherine Zeta Jones on a very bad day.

Re:AAC 5 year chart w/volume, major accumulation going on in 03, 5 year span $10 high. Their business is better now than it was by far.
swampy AAC maybe meet half way & get her togged out in something she can wear to the country club. Something that accentuates the positives, can't take this girl anywhere.lol
A pr would have been nice - hopefully later. The positives are there for sure, waiting to be discovered.
Monk are you in FTS?
Buzz, that dip made me look twice at AAC, been reading now for hours. This is good find, their business looks better than Ebay's in the early stages. lol earlier the yahoo board had aac trading the otc and now down to only one employee -Abdul scrambling to make ends meet, looks like they are jocking for position.
Mr. Ladha: Once we hit profitability then we have really proven and demonstrated the viability of our business model. We acquired iCollector at a time when it was losing $500,000 to $1 million a month. We have now turned that profitable. That’s a huge accomplishment that now enables us to deploy our technology and services into 12,000 auction houses across North America.
Old 2001 AAC news - Now 450 - 500 auction houses I believe.
eBay Premier has signed up about 250 auction houses to date, who use the site to profile lots from their offline auctions. The alliance with icollector will more than double that number. Registered users of both icollector and eBay can place bids at auction over the internet in real time; a 10 percent buyer's premium will be imposed.
The alliance brings icollector in touch with eBay's 22 million registered users. EBay will also have access to a searchable database containing millions of art prices and thousands of catalogues, available on the icollector site. This means prospective buyers can compare values before they buy. Under the terms of the contract, icollector will also provide training, assistance in cataloguing items, and digital photo guidance to any auction houses that want to use eBay's Live Auctions technology. EBay and icollector will split any revenues from the auctions evenly, which will include an average $1,000 up front fee as well as a percentage of final sales commissions.
AAC Price/Volume alert 11/17/03 Institutional holdings of AAC increased significantly.Is something up?
AAC not to mention icollector is rocking!eom.
gins AAC insiders know pps about to fly - check out auction comparisons from the month Oct 02, they had 4 auctions. Oct 03 they had 10 auctions. Nov 02 they had 3 auctions, Nov 03 they have already had 5 with another 6 scheaduled this month. Forget about it.
Anyone getting filled AAC?

BTOR - trading begins - Press Release Source: Bluetorch Inc.
Bluetorch(TM) Brand Is Enthusiastically Accepted by Retailers As They Place Apparel Orders for Holiday '03 & Spring '04
Friday November 7, 7:02 am ET
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BLUETORCH Inc. (formerly Aussie Apparel Group Ltd.) (OTC Bulletin Board: BTOR - News), announced today that its subsidiary, Unboxed Distribution Inc., has begun to receive orders from retailers for the Bluetorch(TM) brand's initial apparel offering to be shipped in the 4th quarter of 2003 and the 1st quarter of 2004.
Beyond the domestic market for apparel and accessories, the Company feels that there is tremendous potential for the Bluetorch brand internationally and that it is aggressively looking for licensing and/or distributorship partners globally. Additionally, the Company feels there is significant possibilities for the Bluetorch brand in the electronics arena including games and watches, as well as other product categories such as sunglasses.
Stated Bruce MacGregor, President & CEO of Bluetorch Inc., "We are delighted with the response to our initial Bluetorch brand product offering. We have purposefully made it a limited offering highlighting the brand name with irreverent and outstanding graphics. The t-shirts and sweatshirts in this first go-round are broken into collections based on the various categories including skate, snow, surf and motocross. For the 4th quarter of 2003, we are focusing primarily on key independent core shops in Southern California, with a more systemic national roll out planned for spring 2004 delivery. We are talking with some of the largest specialty chains that cater to the extreme sports apparel segment. We anticipate these discussions resulting in placement of the Bluetorch brand for spring 2004. We have also started design and development on a much broader product line including wovens, knits and denim for fall 2004."
Added MacGregor, "However, the main point today is the enthusiasm that the retailers are showing for the Bluetorch label. It is crystal clear that the continuous showing of the Bluetorch TV series on Fox Sports Net has created a tremendous awareness for the brand which is translating to immense retailer interest."
Said George Malovrazich of Epic Sports in Pasadena, California, "We are eager to get the product into our store. Not only is the Bluetorch name very well known with our consumer audience, but also the graphics on the t-shirts and sweatshirts are amazing! The brand will be a great addition for Holiday."
Stewart Kawamura, National Sales Manager, further stated, "Out national sales force is extremely excited with both the initial retail reaction and the product itself. There will be a full court press by our sales reps to get in front of as many retailers as possible within the next 45 days in order to show the Bluetorch line. We will also be lining up appointments for the next Action Sports Retailer Show in February where we will showcase the Bluetorch product line. We have recently put in place sales reps for the key regions of the country including California, and I anticipate contracting reps for the remaining regions within the next 45 days."
