Is there a speaker close by that affects the monitor?

Have you deguass-ed the monitor? ( usually a button or control on the monitor itself)

a heavy magnet distorts the monitor--maybe a subwoofer is too close by -- just have some older monitors and have had that sort of occur with them-- I don't know if flat panel displays react the same way.

Can you change the setting in the video card just to run basic 600x800 256color (to change START-->SETTINGS-->DISPLAY--->SETTINGS tab(top) and slide screen area to lowest setting and colors to the lowest and see if that changes the display--

I went and bought some this AM after reading their SEC filings and some info on the yahoo board.
China wants home grown products, one telling observation was
last week when they opted not to use Microsoft products and went with software developed in their country.
EVD's are a Chinese product with their own patents and reading
seems to be pushed by their gov't. ONT has a contract with minimums with E-World (10Q) and a new Chinese director. The Chinese are smart, if they have to pay royalities to someone might as well invest and have some direction in that company.

Reading about EVD technology also includes other digital products other than movies and audio, one article points to
karoke and computers, and settop boxes. I am skeptical still of
a world standard compared to MPEG4 but this is not the first time there have been different standards, look at TV's US has one standard NTSC and Europe PAL (incedently reading that China wants to adopt European standards for HDTV)

Seems like a good bet for now. This could be a trade and not investing, other deals said by this company didn't happen.
Think this one is for real and fits into their maverick role
about bypassing the standards and going it alone (maybe they were shutout, stuff I don't know)

Think I might have to rethink my position
after reading this afternoon's 10QSB
where ON2 has estimates and minimums set
by E World and suppose to have another
deal or so cooking. Will track this thing
and watch.

Since Daniel Miller is gone from ON2, do you happen
to know if he took his patents with him? Most do.

I see Acacia Research is sueing over patents now,
could this be the reason why Realnetworks and Microsoft
are planning to give away their codecs.
I remember a small company who rather than fight the patent
lawyers just give away their software. Seems this is
happening in this sector.
http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-1026466.html

My other question seems rather simplistic but in the
whole scheme of video on demand streaming, if the deal
with Beijing E World is so good, why haven't there been
more coverage by tech financial sites like Red Chip or
articles in computer sites or magazines. The inconsistancy
is striking against other small cap stocks zooming like WAVX
where the story and impact is written and discussed alot.
And WAVX seems a pump and dump too.

Seabiscuit lost its rider.......
Sam's gone and I bailed..... it was a small amount (20,000 shares) but it was too quick and bad timing, damn I'm good.

You know at first I thought EXPO was a candidate because for several years the third Q was the worst....sorta like MSFT the 4thQ is always higher than their 3rd. But in your table you couldn't see that. Guess I'm use to Q's not months......in your design you sell and then buy at the first and last day....seems an added cost to the stock....but I'm watching TARO.


TEN did real good today......but don't plug it in to your system....I am playing that when I posted back a few days ago.
(it did seem to peak in their 2ndQ (now)out of the four)
Did my CYMI earnings play....

ROC did good and like DOV will probably run while the general market is up. the other stuff I am looking at is garbage.....
like TFN where they redid their earnings year and viola had a wonderful EOY numbers......it tanked today, caught alittle and wait til the first part of August (unless it dives, naturally) where they promised mortgage finance numbers like first of July--- and gone (they do SF and soCal), maybe alittle before then like everyone else is probably thinking. And ADTK because they do what ROK does but penny-style now. And NTWO because I lost twice on them and I am dumb enough to play again....<g>....

I still watch NVEC thinking that isn't for real, like YHOO or RMBS in 98.....naw I'll wait......

where's the easiest place to get end of month or first of month numbers......besides download reams of data or is that what you do? more power to you and quit calling me savvy because that one or two lucky ones out of more than I care to say. (the 10% rule rules, well sometimes I lose more but I'm not admitting that.)

the best,
goop

EXPO thank you-- it was an earning play and depending on the numbers may carry over to a hold......

I knew they had military dealings which added to their litigation expertise which had a good run and added a environmental and health company to make these last quarters good.....was basically a buy and hold since 11.00

tonight it beat by a penny .34 said they thought growth in high singles and low double digits was likely, have some cash on hand and learned from their losing out to GD about military dealings but had their name out for recognition. Bought up some low 15's over the last 2 weeks, lets see where it goes.

This is not a candidate for your style I can see, from the looks of the table I wouldn't touch it yet it has a nice up channel and is driven by earnings and in spurts ..... will sell tomorrow or when the market turns up-looking for mid 17's. I believe there is not enough volume to get a monthly trend.

Howdy Ken,
Looks like LPAC did a little pop, don't know why-- but got in just above 3....... looks like I miss another opportunity with TEN..... doggone news out in PM will make that one climb before I got in.

Anyways looks like what you're doing is similar to
Stock Diagnostics..... they use time of year as part of their formula as well as their flavor of earnings and cash flow and go out 5 years....never tried them but been across the site a couple of times......
http://www.stockdiagnostics.com/help.htm

and I am still reading a couple months behind and will re-evaluate the way I see some of the stocks I look at- thanks for that......

Gonna be busy and that keeps me away from intensive research for now.....best of trading. goop

I'm doing EXPO for a earnings play since I sold out of them when they didn't get a military contract. Bought up some at 15 bucks hoping for 17 -- july 21st (bad side-- thinly traded)

I was reading your previous posts and like the method that you guys find seasonal or monthly picks.......
I think this year the war skewed some timing and I think the major events will create a range but interesting none-the-less,
so I was reading and putting in some tickers and LPAC seemed like an interesting chart, not knowing too much about it myself, but ya'll into CANSLIM and such and here is a little stock almost into breakout with more volume or whatever story it might have........

take all this with the usual caveat of the dang thing doing the opposite or a bigger story (such as Greenspeak tues, or INTC tues and bank-week earnings to influence the market)......

but its got real numbers in books and into digital entertainment which is in a stronger cycle, the little company had a good 1st Q and just maybe something good will happen (going long I mean).....

I linked to where you mentioned the stock in an April scan---

back to lurking and reading---
(I been in and out of CYMI for years....another of the picks)
goop

LPAC is getting interesting.......

Thinking this is a key quarter for this little company,
I bot a little a .04, couldn't get any filled below.....
think we see below .03 before the end of Q.

Hope some sales and Ford happens..... its just a hunch, why would they open a Detroit place with so little money....

pure speculation, come on SeaBiscuit

cool, thanks --

I'll try again--- this spider dropped off a chest of drawers
we were moving out of a basement in a little town east of Pittsburgh Pa. Two guys helping me were from the area and
couldn't believe a spider this big was "native" to Pennsylvania -- they thought it was foreign and might be poisonous --- its a "fishing spider", non-poisonous, it lived in the basement probably because there was a constant water leak and it was the first part of July. I didn't know till I got to Pocatello ID and getting a spider cage like those for tarantulas, the girl who helped at the pet store studies spiders at the University of ID there had to know what it was. She was telling me of the Hobo spider being dangerous and aggressive but only the size of a quarter. The spider lived for another month without the leg which was broken off as the first response one would do if it fell next to your arm.........LOL.......should of seen us -- we still had more stuff to get down there and we would pull our T shirts over our head like a hood and then one of guys brushed an old spider web and screamed and run.......we were all spooked.

too bad

check out JNPR

today annouced "No Visibility" at H&Q Conf today while riding coattails of CSCO BSanalyst news.

Also Est. earnings for the year is off-- and needs readjustments--
1stQ (real) .17
2nd Q (est) .24 (23 analyst
3rd Q (est) .23 (23 analy
4th Q (est) .23 (23 analy
(from first call)

well if you add them up its .87 instead of .96 (26 analysts) as listed and used for forward PE of something too high ( I forgot 67 <- I looked it up instead of 112)

and CSCO won a good contract with GX which used JNPR before-

I am short at 66.80 and 63.17 and 59.00

its already down this PM to 64.3 from its close of 65.11
--- I believe this should go down to mid 50's unless MM'sjerk it around

My two cents about bull/bear thread would simply
have both threads but a permanent link to the other thread
that would give anyone a chance to link and read the other and make up their own mind.
Somehow the go2ticker would support or give the option to goto either one.

PS I dont mind ads

What do think of IVX?

Drug companies in general should have good earnings and there is news today about a Pepcid generic. The news says IVX has gotten 4 approvals with 34 more waiting. Fundamentals show yr-to-yr gains and looks like they have a 3rd Q down repeating cycle.

Think this fits in your scheme of things.

An Irish priest and a Rabbi found themselves sharing a compartment on a train.

After a while, the priest opened a conversation by saying "I know that, in your religion, you're not supposed to eat pork...Have you actually ever tasted it?
The Rabbi said, "I must tell the truth. Yes, I have, on the odd occasion."
Then the Rabbi had his turn of interrogation.
He asked, "Your religion, too...I know you're suposed to be celibate. But...."
The priest replied, "Yes, I know what you're going to ask. I have succumbed once or twice."
There was silence for a while.
Then the Rabbi peeped around the newspaper he was reading
and said,
"Better than pork, isn't it?"

Woman's philosophy of men:

1. Women don't make fools of men-most of them are the do-it-yourself types.
2. The best reason to divorce a man is a health reason: you've gotten sick of him.
3. Never trust a man who says he's the boss at home. He probably lies about other things too.
4. A woman's work that is never done, is the stuff she asked her husband to do.
5. If you want a nice man, go for a bald one -- they try harder.
6. Go for younger men. You might as well-they never mature anyway.
7. There are only two four letter words that are offensive to men--don't and "stop" (but not used together).
8. Men are all the same-they just have different faces so you can tell them apart.
9. Whenever you meet a man who would make a good husband, you will usually find that he is.
10. Scientists have just discovered something that can do the work of three men-a woman.
11. There are a lot of words you can use to describe men-strong, caring, loving-they'd be wrong but you could still use them!
12. Men are like animals-messy, insensitive and potentially violent but they make great pets!
13. Men's brains are like the prison system-not enough cells per man.
14. Husbands are like children-they're fine if they're someone else's.

Husband: You get hot at the darnest times.
Wife: If you love me I wouldn't have to beg you.

Wife: You don't love me anymore.
Husband: Yes I do, but let's forget it for tonight.
Wife: (Sob-Sob)
Husband: Alright, I'll do it.
Wife: What's the matter? Need a flashlight?
Husband: I can't find it.
Wife: Oh, for heaven's sake, feel for it!
Husband: There! Are you satisfied?
Wife: Oh, yes, honey.
Husband: Is it up far enough?
Wife: Oh, that's fine.
Husband: Now go to bed and from now on when you want the window open, do it yourself.

A man is going on a business trip and he's worried about his wife being faithful.

He goes to a sex shop and starts browsing when the shop's owner walks up and asks if she can help. He tells her his predicament and she says she has just the right thing. She walks into the back and pulls out a big, old box. She opens it up and there's a shiny dildo inside it.

"What's so special about this dildo?" the man asks.

"Well," she replies, "it's a magic dildo. Just watch." She holds up her hand and makes and O with her index finger and thumb, and she says, "Magic dildo, hand!" The dildo floats up and starts pumping away at the woman's hand. Then the woman says, "Magic dildo, box!" and the dildo floats back to the box and she shuts it.

"That's amazing!" the man exclaims. "It's perfect...I'll take it!" He buys the box and takes it home to his wife and shows her the exact same display that the woman at the shop showed him.

She seems pretty happy, and as soon as he leaves in his business trip, she thought she'd try it out. She takes off her clothes and opens the box and says, "Magic dildo, *****!"

After hours of fun with the dildo and one great orgasm after the next, she finally decides to call it quits. "Magic dildo, stop," she says, but it kept going. "Magic dildo, quit...magic dildo, no more..." but the merciless dildo kept going.

She decided to go to the hospital to see if they could do anything, but driving with the magic dildo still going was quite a task.

She started swerving all over the road, and she went speeding by a cop.

The cop pulls her over and asks her what her trouble is.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," she says. "Try me," the officer replies.

"Well, there's this magic dildo and it won't stop pumping away at me."

The officer gives the woman a look of disbelief and says, "Magic dildo my ass!"

Chicken Little

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class.

She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer.

She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"

The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"

One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'"

The Pope & The Queen

The Pope and the Queen of England are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. Her Majesty and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before, so to make it a little more interesting, the Queen says to the Pope, "Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every English person in the crowd go wild?" He doubts it, so she shows him.

Sure enough, the royal-gloved wave elicits rapture and cheering from every English person in the crowd.

Gradually, the cheering subsides. The Pope, not wanting to be outdone by someone wearing a worse frock and hat than he, considers what he could do.

"Your Majesty, that was impressive. But did you know that with just one little wave of MY hand I can make every Irish person in the crowd go crazy with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice."

The Queen seriously doubts this, and says so.

"One little wave of your hand and all Irish people will rejoice forever? Show me."

So the Pope slapped her.

What's the definition of 'nothing'?

Dark Humour
http://cagle.slate.msn.com/news/stockcrash/stocks2.asp

A stock analyst and a Wall Street broker went to the races. The broker suggested to bet $10,000 on a horse. The analyst was sceptical, saying that he wanted first to understand the rules, to look on horses, etc. The broker whispered that he knew a secret algorithm for the success, but he could not convince the analyst.

"You are too theoretical," he said and bet on a horse. Surely, that horse came first bringing him a lot of money. Triumphantly, he exclaimed: "I told you, I knew the secret!"
"What is your secret?" the analyst asked.
"It is rather easy. I have two kids, three and five year old. I sum up their ages and I bet on number nine."
"But, three and five is eight," the analyst protested.
"I told you, you are too theoretical!" the broker replied, "Haven't I just shown experimentally that my calculation is correct?!"

Hacker Uses Forbes List To Steal
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010320/tc/forbes_list_hacker_1.html

``He's the best I ever faced,'' said Detective Michael Fabozzi of the NYPD's Computer Investigation and Technology Unit. Said another detective, Jahmal Daise, ``You rarely run into someone this good.''

Abdallah is charged with criminal possession of forged devices, stolen property and criminal impersonation, the Post said. His case has been taken over by federal investigators.

Abdallah allegedly used computers at a local library, Web-enabled cell phones and virtual voice mail for the six-month scam that involved duping credit reporting companies such as Equifax into providing credit reports on his rich victims, authorities said. He then used the data to gain access to credit cards and accounts at brokerage houses such as Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch, the newspaper said

Abdallah, a convicted swindler, allegedly breached bank, brokerage and credit-card accounts of people such as Steven Spielberg, Martha Stewart, George Lucas, Oprah Winfrey, Ross Perot, Warren Buffett, Ted Turner and Michael Bloomberg. The number of victims could top 200, the story said.
