Jennifer Aniston is Now at Jenniferanistonforum.com

Glengary, WV (PRWEB) July 17, 2006

Jenniferanistonforum.com is now online.

Jennifer Aniston is an Emmy Award-winning American actress. She grew up in Greece, California, and New York City, and began appearing in stage productions in the late 1980s. After several lesser known film and television roles during the early 1990s, Aniston came to fame playing Rachel Green on the highly popular television sitcom Friends. She has since established a film career as a leading actress, having starred in several notable Hollywood films, including Bruce Almighty and Rumor Has It. Aniston has also become known for her marriage to, and eventual divorce from, actor Brad Pitt, and for her much-rumored subsequent relationship with actor Vince Vaughn.

Aniston appeared as a “Nutri-System” girl on The Howard Stern Radio Show in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She moved to Hollywood and was cast in her first television roles in 1990, starring as a regular on the short-lived series Molloy and in the TV movie Camp Cucamonga. She also co-starred in Ferris Bueller, a television adaptation of the 1986 teen movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the same year; the series was quickly cancelled. Aniston then appeared in two more failed sitcoms, The Edge and Muddling Through, and guest-starred on Quantum Leap, Herman’s Head and Burke’s Law. After this string of canceled shows, along with her appearance in the critically-derided 1993 horror film, Leprechaun, Aniston seriously considered giving up acting.

Aniston’s plans changed, however, after auditioning for Friends, a sitcom which was set to debut on NBC’s 1994-1995 fall line-up. The producers of the show originally wanted Aniston to audition for the role of Monica Geller, but she persuaded them that she was better suited for the role of Rachel Green. She was cast in the role and played the character from 1994 until the show ended in 2004. The program was very successful and Aniston, along with her co-stars, gained wide renown among television watchers. Her hairstyle at the time, which became known as a “Rachel”, was widely copied (see also Dido flip). Aniston received a salary of one million dollars per episode for the last three seasons of Friends, as well as five Emmy nominations, including a win for “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series”.

Aniston has starred in several theatrical films, including the cult hit Office Space. She gained the most critical acclaim for her role in the low-budget 2002 film, The Good Girl, playing an unglamorous cashier in a small town. Jennifer’s biggest box office success was her appearance in 2003′s Bruce Almighty, in which she played the girlfriend of title character (Jim Carrey); the film grossed $ 243m at the United States box office. Aniston’s 2004 film, Along Came Polly (opposite Ben Stiller), also did well at the box office.

In late 2005, Aniston headlined two major studio films, Derailed and Rumor Has It, both of which performed fairly at the box office, grossing over $ 30 million each. In the same year, she appeared in a European Heineken television commercial frequently aired before UEFA Champions League. In 2006, Aniston appeared in the low-budget drama, Friends with Money, which received a limited release, and starred in the comedy The Break-Up, which was released on June 2 and grossed approximately $ 39.17 million during its opening weekend, despite negative reviews. Aniston is currently slated to star in The Senator’s Wife, Wanted and Diary, but none have yet begun filming.

Michael Pare Talks BloodRayne On Sci-Fi Talk

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 15, 2006

The talented actor talked about his expierence in the video game adaptation film, BloodRayne

“Uwe and I have worked together on four or five movies. I will be in his next movie. Far Cry also. In BloodRayne, he called me up and said,” Mike, do you want to come to Romania for a few days? We’ll have dinner and hang around.” And I said, “Sure.”

I play the armorer that Michael Madsen and Kristanna Loken…after they lose their weapons, they come to me as I am kind of an armorer for that organization that is fighting the vampires, The Brimstone Society. They stop by and I give them the swords. It was my second time in Romania and fifth time working with Uwe. I thought it would be fun. Uwe’s career is a blossoming one. I shot another movie there called Gargoyles. I got to hear about the history of Vlad The Impaler. I heard that Romania was the stronghold of the Christian world against the Moors. You really believe Kristanna (Loken) as a warrior.”

THOR tours July, August, SeptemberAn-THOR-logy retrospective DVD set for release

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 08:33:18 +0000

THOR tours July, August, SeptemberAn-THOR-logy retrospective DVD set for release

Reno, NV, (PRWEB) July 5, 2005 -

Â? Smog Veil Records announces U.S. and Canadian tour dates for Thor. The band will tour in support of the new album titled, Thor Against The World, and retrospective DVD titled, An-THOR-logy, both set for release on July 12, 2005. Radio promotions for the new album are being handled by the record label in-house. Smog Veil is distributed by Revolver, Super D, Morphius, Scratch (Canada), Southern, CTD, Choke, Get Hip, Cargo, Subterranean, Zing/KOCH (Canada), FAB (Canada) and World Chaos Productions (Japan). RocknRetail will handle marketing.

Jon Mikl Thor rock music, film and body building legend (Mr. America and Mr. Canada titles) has worked to make each stop on the tour a crowd-pleasing event featuring theatrics, all new costumes and specially designed props. Each night the show will be tailored to the specific parameters of the venues the tour is hitting. There will be feats of strength including bending steel bars with his teeth, crushing stacks of bricks on his chest and so forth. In ThorÂ?s own words Â?I will give them a show they will never forget! I will give them rock Â?nÂ? roll and a whole lot more!Â?

The drama on stage is connected directly to the content of the songs and the set lists will span several albums. Â?It is a conceptÂ? Thor explains Â?weÂ?re taking the songs fans know and love the most and playing them, but also acting them out.Â? The recurring themes include the warrior or dark avenger character who tells the tales of battles with ogres, monsters, snakes, wizards, demons and aliens. He is on a quest to find the magic lantern. The tales are loosely based on Norse mythology. Â?Really the stories convey the message that if you believe in yourself you can find the strength and the perseverance to overcome any obstacleÂ? Thor confirms.

In many of the tour markets the rock show will either be preceded by or followed by a showing of the new film, Intercessor: Another Rock Â?nÂ? Roll Nightmare. The film is being released to DVD (SRS Cinema) and Smog Veil will release the soundtrack on Apple iTunes which features Thor with special guests like the Street WalkinÂ? Cheetahs, Sweet Justice, DOA, Joe Preston (Melvins) plus three bonus tracks from original film Rock Â?nÂ? Roll Nightmare.

The Boston show at the Coolidge Theater on 8/3 will be the premiere for Intercessor: Another Rock Â?nÂ? Roll Nightmare and the Rainbow Theater in London, Ontario is planning an event surrounding the concert and the film for Monday 8/8. The stop in Chicago on 8/10 will be part of a Thor Film Festival featuring the live rock show as well as screenings of Zombie Nightmare (also starring Adam West and Tia Carerra); Rock Â?nÂ? Roll Nightmare (soon to be releases to DVD by Synapse Films) and Intercessor: Another Rock Â?nÂ? Roll Nightmare.. In related Thor film news, two tracks from the album (Â?Creature FeatureÂ? and Â?Easy WomanÂ?) will appear in the movie Creepies II now in production.

Jon Mikl Thor hand-picked top musicians to hit the road with him to promote Thor Against The World. The band will include Steve Stack (best known for playing the tracks Â?InvaderÂ? and Â?Strange LanternÂ? on the album Thunderstruck: Tales from the Equinox) on guitar. Mike Favata who hails from the bandÂ?s peak period and is featured on releases such as Unchained, Only The Strong, Recruits Â? Wild in the Streets will grace the drum kit again for this extended tour and John Ramirez (The Probe, Street Walkin Cheetahs, Nudist Priest) has been recruited to handle bass duties.

The tour will also feature guest artists in selected markets, including Damien Storm and Steve Price. Storm will perform his composition Â?Zekey ZombieÂ? from the horror film Intercessor which Thor stars in. And Price who was ThorÂ?s guitar player through the 1980s will come onboard for selected east coast dates. Production team the Messiaz, aka Bruce Duff on keyboards and Frank Meyer (who also co-wrote much of the album) on guitar, will join the band for the west coast dates.

Many of the shows have sponsors like Sam Ash for Orlando, FL on 7/23 and PUMP Restaurant in New York City for the show at the Continental in New York City on 8/5. Additional events and sponsors are being confirmed daily.

The track listing for the upcoming DVD, An-THOR-ology is: 1. Opening/News clips 1979 ; 2. Action live on Merv Griffin 1976; 3. Sleeping Giant video 1977; 4. Keep the Dogs Away video 1977; 5. Catch a Tiger video 1977; 6. Keep the Dogs Away – live 1979; 7. Rosie – live 1979; 8. Thor-u-mentary; 9. Rag-Na-Rock – live 1981; 10. Special Flight – live 1981; 11.

With the Nasdaq 100 at 1452.17, we can build only a short-term rally potential for this, our most hated index. This index was in free fall prior to 9-11 and the week that was, including our bottom signal on 9.20.2001 came in at just below 1200. The rally to 1700 was strong to be sure, but now that it is historyÂ?the rally that is, we find it pretty easy to remove ourselves to the back of the bar for some serious poker and the NAZ is not serious pokerÂ?it is for the tenderfeetÂ?those that did not lose all their money in techs in 1999-2000 or those that still have an Aunt Edna still willing to cough up dough for these traders to treat these traders high levels of testosterone poisoning. Money is not going into this index. We have been saying for a couple of years that money must be directed to small and mid-cap companies of high qualityÂ?that suggests the S & P Mid-Cap 400. Take a look at the two indices [are we now saying "indexes?"

Here is the first pathetic nameÂ?

Â?and now another pathetic nameÂ?but you get the idea [you don't?]

$ 2.4B. Net loss totaled $ 1.29B vs. an income of $ 868.1M. Little obvious debt.

Â?hey it’s freeÂ?it’s not like I’m asking you to cough up some real bucks.

ADLAC Adelphia Communications Corporation $ 23 + one could make a case for a triple bottom hereÂ?an initial break of $ 20 post 9/11, another stab at a break in November and a nice run to $ 32 plus only to see us back at current numbers. ADLAC owns, operates, and manages cable TV systems & other related telecommunications businesses. Adelphia operations consist primarily of selling video programming and does a crummy job of it. Event risk and the events are likely negative. Excessive risk.

Maybe your Aunt Edna will let you buy this oneÂ?

ALTR Altera Corporation $ 23.45 murdered in the 9-11 hit and has barely recovered. Spotty, spotty spotty performance in a crummy group. It does have cash so we can suggest that the downward spike in September will likely hold and the minor break of $ 20 in December was largely tax-selling idiotic who after their likely purchase at $ 65 in August of 2000, finally thought “now” was the time to panic and sell. Traders could buy, but you are buying knowing that event risk is likely negative.

Chart courtesy of Clearstation.com

AMGN Amgen Inc. $ 57.90. We don’t have to have an opinion on every issue

and AMGN just bores us to death-I would rather watch two fleas mating.

ADRX Andrx Group $ 49 techies are heading for the hills on this issue, but the break of $ 50 from the shelf of $ 50 is pretty severe in its own right-also there was some panic volume [we like that]. Andrx Corporation formulates and commercializes controlled-release

APOL Apollo Group, Inc. $ 46.95. We rate as positive. Apollo Group is a provider of higher education programs for working adults. APOL offers its services at 58 campuses and 102 learning centers. For the 3 months ended 11/30/01, revenues rose 29% to $ 228.2M. Net income rose 30% to $ 31.7M.

AMAT Applied Materials, Inc. $ 43.08 the stock is back to the pre Sept 11 numbers [almost] but that is about it. Neutral and we don’t like “neutral.” It’s not worth your hard-earned cash.

ATML Atmel Corporation $ 7.13 another memory chip co in the skidsÂ?it has a base of sorts. So, at current numbers we give it a slight positive ratingÂ?but we have other fish to fry.

BEAS BEA Systems, Inc. $ 16.25 this is the base and traders may enter here. The key would be to dribble to the $ 22 level and then punchÂ?if it punches right away, get rid of it.

BGEN Biogen, Inc. $ 53.68 pretty boring, but it has been pretty boring since April Fool’s Day of 2000. We see nothing to change that. Maybe April Fool’s Day 2003Â?. check back.

BMET Biomet, Inc. $ 32.37 looks as if it could break out toward $ 40, but somehow we think you should avoid.

BRCM Broadcom Corporation $ 39.20 there was no real damage to this star performer of the dot. Com blastÂ?but it is stuck in a range with this being near the bottom. We can do a lot better.

BRCD Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. $ 32.63 the benefit of the doubt short-termÂ?than gives us an objective of $ 38 Â½. Not worth it.

CDWC CDW Computer Centers, Inc $ 53.87 stuck in a trading range and it is likely to be resolved to the upsideÂ?but not just yet. Neutral/Positive only.

CHTR Charter Communications, Inc. $ 11.25 low enuf if you have any feel for the fundamentalsÂ?we don’tÂ?a rally to about 13 Â½. Not 4 us.

CHIR Chiron Corporation $ 41.19 back in the base, but we still don’t care. There is not enuf of a break to motivate us. I like “enuf.”

CTAS Cintas Corporation $ 49.71 now here is a company we can understand. Everything looks on stream, but we give it only a positive rating. Again, we can do better. Cintas Corporation designs, manufactures, and implements corporate identity uniform programs which it rents or sells to customers throughout the U.S. and Canada. For the 6 months ended 11/30/01, total revenues increased 6% to $ 1.12B. Net income increased 7% to $ 114.5M. Revenues reflect higher rental income due to growth in customers base. Earnings also reflect improved gross profit margins, lower interest rates and a

reduction in long-term debt.

CTXS Citrix Systems, Inc. $ 15.92 pull the plungerÂ?appears not even warm.

CMCSK Comcast Corporation $ 33.39 a rally beginning it appears and maybe there could be 7-8 pointsÂ?is that enuf? No.

CPWR Compuware Corporation $ 12.63. The major collapse for this stock was in January, 2000Â?if you call $ 40 to $ 25 a collapseÂ?since then we have seen the stock wallow around the sub eight level in late 2000 and sub ten for most of 2001. We are basing here and the selling that took place in September was very speculative indeed and VTARÂ? suggests that this is a major “buy” signal. So, here we have itÂ?a strong buy signal and a move $ 8 to $ 14. We suggest that the “strong buy” signal is still very much in force and suggest accumulation right here and up to the $ 14 level. We are still suggesting that labor costs are still out of line but with no debt, this Farmington, MI company will stick around. CPWR develops, markets and supports systems software products designed to improve productivity in application development, implementation & maintenance, & offers system analysis, design, programming, systems planning and consulting. For the 9 months ended 12/31/01, revenues fell 12% to $ 1.32B. Net income rose 25% to $ 90.7M. Revenues reflect reduced demand for professional services. Earnings benefited from reduced sales/marketing expense.

CMVT Comverse Technology, Inc. $ 17.69 We are not there yet. We do not see the panic yet in the stock. If they won’t panic sub $ 20Â?perhaps the number is ten.

CEFT Concord EFS, Inc. $ 27.54. Nice rally after 9/11 but we see nothing of importance going on at the moment. Market perform minus.

CNXT Conexant Systems, Inc. $ 12.26. How could you kill this stock on 9/11. It wasn’t and here we have a bottom at the sub ten level and the move to $ 18 demonstrated that power. At $ 12.26 you have a second chance.

COST Costco Wholesale Corporation $ 44.08. The crash pattern of May, 2000 has been consolidated by additional selling in late 2000 and in the September crash which was very speculative selling indeed we have an established “Strong Buy” signal as of 9/20.01 and that is still very much in force. Put it in the portfolio.

CYTC CYTYC Corporation $ 20.61. Another idiotic name that no one with any upbringing can pronounce soberÂ?we very much like the second crunch sub $ 20 and classify CYTYC a buy. CYTYC Corporation designs, develops, manufactures and markets a sample preparation system for medical diagnostic applications. For the FY ended 12/31/01, net sales rose 56% to $ 221M. Net income fell 67% to $ 12.6M. Revenues reflect increased sales of the Company’s ThinPrep Pap Test for cervical cancer screening in the United States. Earnings were offset by a $ 56M charge for in-process R&D associated with the Pro-Duct

acquisition.

DELL Dell Computer Corporation $ 26.25. Negative.

EBAY eBay Inc. $ 58.61. High end of the trading range is $ 70Â?that should tell you the story.

DISH EchoStar Communications Corporation $ 25.63. Can this company make money? The revenues are surely there but the labor costs appear out to lunch. Fix that and maybe we will revisit.

ESRX Express Scripts, Inc. $ 50.05. Strong Buy. The crash pattern in September and the additional crash in October were both very speculative selling and has set the stock up for what we think will be a major advance. VTARÂ? indicates a dribble toward the recent $ 60 high and then the possibility of a strong advance from there. That works for us and apparently this company is working as well with great labor content numbers and money pouring in relative to the increased total rev numbers. We like it.

FISV Fiserv, Inc. $ 42.40. The September crash barely fazed FISVÂ?and the base is at the $ 35 levelÂ?given an excuse it could finally break to the low 50′s. Lower risk but only moderate reward.

FLEX Flextronics International Ltd. $ 19.62. One could make a case for a triple bottom hereÂ?and it does look as if it can moveÂ?a littleÂ?and when that fails we will have to search for the real bottom and that looks like a break of ten. Obviously, we are not being suckered in for 5 pts on the upside for 15 in the reverse direction.

GMST Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc. $ 18.11. Do not follow.

GENZ Genzyme General $ 43.30. Very short-term a move to the low $ 50′s but we still see the potential for some very serious selling later in the year. Play if you are quick.

GILD Gilead Sciences, Inc. $ 66.88. The stock looks fineÂ?but can it make any money? We will watch.

HGSI Human Genome Sciences, Inc. $ 25.39. Wonderful double top at the $ 110 level in Feb 2000 and nearly so in October of 2000. But where is the bottom? Since November of 2001 the stock has lost 20 pointsÂ?there will be a likely recovery but we will not classify the break of $ 25 as a bottom. Tradable but not invest able.

ICOS ICOS Corporation $ 44.02. Why do companies like this sell at ANY price? Should it even be public?

IDPH IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation $ 57.39. Hey, it’s only 96 times earnings. A nice FridayÂ?but it will take more than a good Friday to suck us into this company.

IMCL ImClone Systems Incorporated $ 16.26. Ugly, top to bottom and inside out and outside inÂ?its address in NYC is 180 Varick StreetÂ?it would appear as if the WTC fell on it. If you are the type who likes jumping in front of freight trains [it can be a rush] then this is the stock for you. Here are the top officers: Robert Goldhammer, Chmn., Samuel Waksal, Pres./ CEO, Harlan Waksal, COO/Exec. VP, Daniel Lynch, CFO/ VP-Fin., John Landes, Sr. VP/Counsel/Secy. Stay away from these guys chocolate cream pies could be coming their way and it could get messy.

IMNX Immunex Corporation $ 28.72. Serious sellers at $ 29 but the stock has done enuf work since October to pull it off. Buy prior to the break out which could come soon.

IDTI Integrated Device Technology, Inc. $ 29.57. This stock has been taking the selling and taking it over and over againÂ?but it looks like not very smart selling. The fundamentals are not here so it is puzzlement.

INTC Intel Corporation $ 32.52. The selling in September was speculative but the power is not hereÂ?it is not your father’s INTC.

INTU Intuit Inc. $ 37.12. Neutral and a market performer only.

IVGN Invitrogen Corporation $ 54.59. Due for a bounce up but that’s it.

JNPR Juniper Networks, Inc. $ 13.89. Ditto comment on JDSU except add 100 points to the top priceÂ?triple top at $ 225 plus August, September & October, ’00.

KLAC KLA-Tencor Corporation $ 55.63. No opinion.

LLTC Linear Technology Corporation $ 39.39. Negative. We don’t see the potential for a serious bottom. Very short-term traders might expect a $ 47 topÂ?we will ignore given the risk.

ERICY LM Ericsson Telephone Company $ 4.29. $ 3.50 to six in the last run. We rate only market perform and that is not a buy.

MXIM Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. $ 51.73. No.

MEDI MedImmune, Inc. $ 41.29. Positive. January 24, 2002: Fourth Quarter 2001 Revenues Reach $ 293 Million and Net Earnings

Grow to $ 99 Million

2001 Highlights

MERQ Mercury Interactive Corporation $ 37.65. NegativeÂ?still.

MCHP Microchip Technology Incorporated $ 36.50. Slightly positive from here.

MSFT Microsoft Corporation $ 60.65. Continues negative and our sell at 107 7/16 at Christmastime, 1999 is still intact. Avoid. Minor rally from here.

MLNM Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. $ 18.82. Losses and more lossesÂ?someday perhaps and we do expect a rally but we are not playing just yet.

MOLX Molex Incorporated $ 28.90. We are looking for the teens after a minor rally here.

NTAP Network Appliance, Inc. $ 15.80. We like the selling in September and the crash selling in January-we are reducing risk as we go along and we have seen single digits in the stock [sub $ 8 in September] but these rev numbers should not be demonstrating eps losses. Watch only.

NXTL Nextel Communications, Inc. $ 5.91. Aren’t these stock losers? We are beginning to see the panic and that is a positive development- the reverse of what we saw in March of ’00 at $ 80Â?so we are getting close. Years of losses and massive debt says this could be a hole in a donut. Forget it.

NVLS Novellus Systems, Inc. $ 38.89. Unlikely. Very unlikely.

NVDA NVIDIA Corporation $ 57.72. 71 times earnings but it looks higher. Perhaps much higher. Accumulate sub $ 60. The numbers are coming. Note this: NVIDIA Corporation designs, develops and markets 3D graphics processors, graphics processing units and related software for every type of desktop personal computer, ranging from professional workstations to low-cost PCs. For the 39 weeks ended 10/28/01, total revenues rose 69% to $ 871.4M. Net income rose 51% to $ 104.1M. Results reflect strong demand for new products at higher average selling prices, partially offset by increased non-cash charges.

ORCL Oracle Corporation $ 16.18. We are not going along. Who needs this if you can buy SAP Ag Ads? [SAP-32.72].

PCAR PACCAR Inc. $ 65.10. Market perform.

SPOT PanAmSat Corporation $ 21.92. A buyÂ?a weak one, but a buy. PanAmSat is a provider of global satellite-based communications services. Satellite services are provided to the broadcasting and business communications markets, and also to the long-distance telephony market.

PAYX Paychex, Inc. $ 35.99. NeutralÂ?near $ 40 on this moveÂ?we will play somewhere else.

PSFT PeopleSoft, Inc. $ 31.81. A decent enuf rally from the $ 17 Â½ level, but $ 17 Â½ is about what it’s worth. A rally here to exit if you have it.

PMCS PMC – Sierra, Inc. $ 22.50. Negative.

PDLI Protein Design Labs, Inc. $ 21.71. No opinion.

QLGC QLogic Corporation $ 46.03. Negative.

QCOM QUALCOMM Incorporated $ 37.4. Negative.

RATL Rational Software Corporation $ 21.35. We are getting there with the panic selling but we would like to see numbers approaching or breaking ten.

RFMD RF Micro Devices, Inc. $ 17.55. Negative.

SANM Sanmina-SCI Corporation $ 12.41. Negative.

SEPR Sepracor Inc. $ 40.35. Buy. The selling in September was excessive then and the recent crash from the near $ 60 level equally so. For the 9 months ended 9/30/01, revenues rose 89% to $ 114.8M. Net loss fell 7% to $ 121.7M. Revenues reflect higher product sales due to increased sales of Xopenex. Lower loss was partially offset by increased costs related toseveral new clinical studies and higher sales and marketing costs.

SEBL Siebel Systems, Inc. $ 34.11. Expect a minor rally. Continue negative.

SSCC Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation $ 14.80. The stock was in the base when the 9/11 crash occurred. That was a point of “strong buy” with our VTARÂ? numbers and the move to $ 17 was impressive. Here is a second chance on the buy side.

SPLS Staples, Inc. $ 16.64. Neutral only.

SBUX Starbucks Corporation $ 21.98. Continues positive, very positive. Buy. Now if they could just get rid of the employeesÂ?

SUNW Sun Microsystems, Inc. $ 9.75. Awful.

SYMC Symantec Corporation $ 34.52. A buy. Look at the products.

but they had better start bringing it to the bottom lineÂ?like now.

SNPS Synopsys, Inc. $ 49.36. A rally from here but does it have the distance? Doubtful.

TLAB Tellabs, Inc. $ 13.54. Neutral, a rally from here but far from exciting.

TMPW TMP Worldwide Inc. $ 34. Negative. We will not play in the thirtiesÂ?maybe not above $ 25.

USAI USA Networks, Inc. $ 29.03. A rally to sell into. Avoid.

VRSN VeriSign, Inc. $ 27.06. Not in the 20′sÂ?maybe in the teens. A rally from here-it’s oversold but to sell into please.

VRTS VERITAS Software Corporation $ 40.13. Negative.

VTSS Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation $ 10.64. NegativeÂ?still.

WCOM WorldCom, Inc. $ 8.18. That was an explanation of the balance sheet? I don’t think so. Still negative after all these years.

XLNX Xilinx, Inc. $ 39.05. Negative.

YHOO Yahoo! Inc. $ 16.65. Another name we have disliked since Christmastime 1999 [$ 208] and still there is not change. Avoid.

Nasdaq Continues to Underperform-AXXel Comments on Each One 3/27/02 Update

Email: axxel@optonline or tradingweapon@aol.com

Telephone: 908.647.5750 FAX: 708.585.6185

Here is what we said on 2/11/02: “With the NASDAQ 100 at 1452.17, we can build only a short-term rally potential for this, our most hated indexÂ? We have been saying for a couple of years that money must be directed to small and mid-cap companies of high qualityÂ?that suggests the S & P Mid-Cap 400. Take a look at the two indices [are we now saying "indexes?"].

UPDATE 3.27.02: Well, here we are nearly seven weeks later and the NAS 100 is at 1439.55 vs. 1452.17 a loss of nearly 1% and the NAZ Composite which was at 1,772.15 is at 1817.06, hardly a sterling performance [plus 2%] particularly vs. our recommended index, the S & P 400 Mid Cap 400 which closed at 533.15. This index was at 495.56 an increase of 7-Â½%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, we only have 30 crummy stocks from which to choose, outperformed the NAS Comp and the NAS 100, up 721 points at 10,401 for the period, an increase of 7.4%. It didn’t outperform our favorite S & P 400, but it came close, didn’t it?

THIS IS A MEANINGFUL DIVERGENCE:

Now you may not think this is a meaningful divergence, but if you assume that these two indices are now not quite parallel lines, the divergence, if it continues as we think it shall, will be very meaningful 18 months out, 2 years out, 5 years out and that is the time frame that we think such an index will outperform the Nasdaq Composite [we mistyped "compost"] and perhaps that is an accurate description of the index. We shall see. We think this is VERY IMPORTANT information for you. We think you should plug it into your thinking. We have no pity for you if you ignore this development that we have been hounding you about for over two years. Here is the chart FYI:

Blah Nasdaq 100: 1452.17 on 2.11 and now a pathetic 1439.55 – Chart courtesy of Clearstation.com [FYI: Nasdaq Composite 1772.15 and now 1817.06][DJ-30=9680.32 ON 2.11 & now 10,401]Â?

and now the “non-blah” S & P Mid-Cap 400 [how about a hand for this index?]

S & P Mid-Cap 400

S & P Mid-Cap 400 = 495.56 on 2.11 & now 533.15]

Chart courtesy of Clearstation.com

And now the stocks of the NAZ 100Â?I hate most of these stocks, but I know you have this cocaine -like addiction to these god-awful names, so to wean you off the milk of these pathetic companies, here is my opinionÂ?feel free to go to the movies or hop on a bus to see where it finally ends up]. The government will likely give us some Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you

realize it was your money to start with.

Here is the first pathetic nameÂ?

Â?and now another pathetic nameÂ?but you get the idea [you don't?]

$ 2.4B. Net loss totaled $ 1.29B vs. an income of $ 868.1M. Little obvious debt. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 3.82 probably some minor bottomÂ?we don’t care.

Â?hey it’s freeÂ?it’s not like I’m asking you to cough up some real bucks.

ADLAC Adelphia Communications Corporation $ 23 + one could make a case for a triple bottom hereÂ?an initial break of $ 20 post 9/11, another stab at a break in November and a nice run to $ 32 plus only to see us back at current numbers. ADLAC owns, operates, and manages cable TV systems & other related telecommunications businesses. Adelphia operations consist primarily of selling video programming and does a crummy job of it. Event risk and the events are likely negative. Excessive risk. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 20.50 a likely short-term bottom at sub $ 20 in mid Feb and another just here. Traders can look for the mid 20′s.

Maybe your Aunt Edna will let you buy this oneÂ?

AMZN Amazon.com, Inc. $ 12.52 reported nice numbers [well, nice for Amazon, that is] and the stock does appear bound for the mid 20′s according to VTARÂ? numbers. That’s OK with us and you’ve taken bigger risks haven’t YOU? Here is the news from Dow Jones: Jan 22, 2002- “Amazon.com Inc. turned a profit for the first time in the fourth on sales that topped the billion dollar mark, another first for the nearly seven-year-old Internet retailing giant. Amazon on Tuesday reported net income of $ 5.1 million, or a penny a share, compared with a net loss of $ 545.1 million, or $ 1.53 a share, a year earlier. Sales rose 15% to $ 1.12 billion from $ 972 million.” There’s moreÂ?blah, blah, blah. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 14.23 no change, positive, but not low risk.

AMGN Amgen Inc. $ 57.90. We don’t have to have an opinion on every issue

and AMGN just bores us to death-I would rather watch two fleas mating. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 61.14 no change, still bored to death. My dear spouse wants me to do sit ups. I refused. She didn’t give up; she taped the remote control between my toes.

Apollo Group Inc. – Phoenix 2nd Quar Feb. 28:

2002 2001

Revenue $ 222,618,000 $ 162,980,000

Net income 28,093,000 16,349,000

Apollo Group Inc. (APOL) consists of Apollo Education Group and University of Phoenix Online (UOPX). Apollo Education Group had second quarter earnings of $ 26.6 million, or 23 cents a share, up from $ 15.7 million, or 14 cents a share, a year ago. University of Phoenix Online had earnings of $ 1.5 million, or 14 cents a share, up from $ 654,000, or 6 cents a share, a year ago.

Chart courtesy of Clearstation.com

AMAT Applied Materials, Inc. $ 43.08 the stock is back to the pre Sept 11 numbers [almost] but that is about it. Neutral and we don’t like “neutral.” It’s not worth your hard-earned cash. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 51.74 a nice step correction. Now neutral positive and a trading buy on a break of $ 50.

CDWC CDW Computer Centers, Inc $ 53.87 stuck in a trading range and it is likely to be resolved to the upsideÂ?but not just yet. Neutral/Positive only. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 48.58 now only neutral.

CHTR Charter Communications, Inc. $ 11.25 low enuf if you have any feel for the fundamentalsÂ?we don’tÂ?a rally to about 13 Â½. Not 4 us. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 11.99 blah rally. Avoid.

CHKP Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. $ 33.77 not damaged by 9/11 and the rally took the stock up by 100%Â?not bad. But then the “hear-attack” mode and we are back in the base. If you were nimble, you made moneyÂ?if notÂ?well, you know. Avoid the temptation to trade this name. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 31.60 it looks like a baseÂ?it smells like a base. Is it a base? No. Avoid. [But then we could be wrong, but that is doubtful, isn't it?]. But I doubt that.

CHIR Chiron Corporation $ 41.19 back in the base, but we still don’t care. There is not enuf of a break to motivate us. I like “enuf.” UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 45.94 no change.

reduction in long-term debt. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 48.65 now only neutral.

CTXS Citrix Systems, Inc. $ 15.92 pull the plungerÂ?appears not even warm. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 17.40 no change.

CMCSK Comcast Corporation $ 33.39 a rally beginning it appears and maybe there could be 7-8 pointsÂ?is that enuf? No. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 32.01 and it wasn’t. A likely pathetic rally from here but we have no interest in the thirties.

CMVT Comverse Technology, Inc. $ 17.69 We are not there yet. We do not see the panic yet in the stock. If they won’t panic sub $ 20Â?perhaps the number is ten. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 13.21 we doubt that the number is ten at the momentÂ?the crash from $ 17 was severe and the stock will likely dribble toward $ 16. Watch.

CEFT Concord EFS, Inc. $ 27.54. Nice rally after 9/11 but we see nothing of importance going on at the moment. Market perform minus. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 32.91 at the top of the trading range, but now accumulate sub $ 31.

acquisition. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 26.25 that buy worked and we suggest an average up.

DELL Dell Computer Corporation $ 26.25. Negative. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 25.72 no change.

EBAY eBay Inc. $ 58.61. High end of the trading range is $ 70Â?that should tell you the story. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 56.99 no change.

DISH EchoStar Communications Corporation $ 25.63. Can this company make money? The revenues are surely there but the labor costs appear out to lunch. Fix that and maybe we will revisit. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 28.46 we will go to positive.

ERTS Electronic Arts Inc. $ 54.13. Games and new platforms for them to play on. Still, a very yucky performance in the past with earnings. Short-term it’s “OK” and the selling is a little overdone at the $ 50 levelÂ?we will not play, games or not. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 58.06 and the selling was overdone and the move to $ 62 was useful. We now rate only neutral positive.

ESRX Chart is courtesy of Clearstation.com

FISV Fiserv, Inc. $ 42.40. The September crash barely fazed FISVÂ?and the base is at the $ 35 levelÂ?given an excuse it could finally break to the low 50′s. Lower risk but only moderate reward. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 45.73 it is breaking toward $ 50 and we now rate it positive.

GMST Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc. $ 18.11. Do not follow. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 14.84 and glad we don’t.

GENZ Genzyme General $ 43.30. Very short-term a move to the low $ 50′s but we still see the potential for some very serious selling later in the year. Play if you are quick. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 44.93 we like the selling in place but we would like to see a break of $ 40 before we go positive. On watch list.

GILD Gilead Sciences, Inc. $ 33.44. The stock looks fineÂ?but can it make any money? We will watch. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 37.35 now positive. We like the base and the ease of movement.

ITWO i2 Technologies, Inc. $ 6.06. Too much buying, too much speculation that “this is the bottom.” Where the real bottom is will yet be played outÂ?very short term a move to $ 7.50 perhaps. Who needs that? UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 5.11 and w3e don’t need it and there is still no panic. Where is the panic? Sub $ 4.00?

ICOS Corporation $ 44.02. Why do companies like this sell at ANY price? Should it even be public? UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 45.18 no change.

IDPH IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation $ 57.39. Hey, it’s only 96 times earnings. A nice FridayÂ?but it will take more than a good Friday to suck us into this company. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 68.96 it did extendÂ?.we will give it thatÂ?but we are not with it and will continue to avoid.

IMNX Immunex Corporation $ 28.72. Serious sellers at $ 29 but the stock has done enuf work since October to pull it off. Buy prior to the break out which could come soon. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 30.83 average up. Moves easily.

INTC Intel Corporation $ 32.52. The selling in September was speculative but the power is not hereÂ?it is not your father’s INTC. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 30.26 it bounces from here so traders may want the little ride. Not usÂ?not just nowÂ?we like IDTI above.

INTU Intuit Inc. $ 37.12. Neutral and a market performer only. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 37.99 no change.

IVGN Invitrogen Corporation $ 54.59. Due for a bounce up but that’s it. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 34.12 and that was it. The price destruction is nearly over so we would buy the next clunk as it makes an attempt to break $ 30 which we think is unlikely.

JDSU JDS Uniphase Corporation $ 6.60. What a wonderful stock to hate and so many opportunities to blow this out at $ 125+! We got our single digits and one would think that we would be satisfied and we would now suggest “Buy, Buy, Buy.” Well, now we want to see some reverse stock splits. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 5.58 a bounce from here is likely-those who enjoy the rush of jumping in front of freight trains may enjoy doing so here.

JNPR Juniper Networks, Inc. $ 13.89. Ditto comment on JDSU except add 100 points to the top priceÂ?triple top at $ 225 plus August, September & October, ’00. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 11.82 ditto the comment above.

KLAC KLA-Tencor Corporation $ 55.63. No opinion. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 64.47. Neutral positive-traders could enter here but keep it tight.

LLTC Linear Technology Corporation $ 39.39. Negative. We don’t see the potential for a serious bottom. Very short-term traders might expect a $ 47 topÂ?we will ignore given the risk. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 43.70 and the top was just a fraction over $ 47. We will now go to buy for traders and look for a dribble toward $ 47 and a punch to the low 50′s. But not without risk in the groupÂ?but you know that.

ERICY LM Ericsson Telephone Company $ 4.29. $ 3.50 to six in the last run. We rate only market perform and that is not a buy. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 4.20 I now use cell phones as ballast in my sailboat.

MXIM Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. $ 51.73. No. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 54.64 no change but traders enter here but keep it tight [the stops that is].

MEDI MedImmune, Inc. $ 41.29. Positive UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 41.72 no change but it has to rally from here soon.

MERQ Mercury Interactive Corporation $ 37.65. NegativeÂ?still. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 37.25 a change for the better and traders could enter.

MCHP Microchip Technology Incorporated $ 36.50. Slightly positive from here. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 41.16 average up.

MSFT Microsoft Corporation $ 60.65. Continues negative and our sell at 107 7/16 at Christmastime, 1999 is still intact. Avoid. Minor rally from here. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 59.67 now neutral positive.

MLNM Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. $ 18.82. Losses and more lossesÂ?someday perhaps and we do expect a rally but we are not playing just yet. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 22.10 a buy on a break of $ 20.

MOLX Molex Incorporated $ 28.90. We are looking for the teens after a minor rally here. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 34.88 at the top of the trading range but a change now to neutral positive.

If you need a telecommunication equipment company, take a look at Utstarcom [UTSI-24.75] UTStarcom, Inc. provides communications equipment for service providers that operate wireless and wire line networks in rapidly growing

communications markets. For the FY ended 12/31/01, net sales rose 70% to

$ 626.8M. Net income before accounting change totaled $ 57M, up from $ 28M.

Revenues reflect an increase in the sales volume of PAS and IP-based PAS

systems. Earnings also reflect an increase in gross margins.

NVLS Novellus Systems, Inc. $ 38.89. Unlikely. Very unlikely. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 52.00

Nasdaq 100 Index courtesy of Clearstation.com

We started this series on February 11th, 2002 and here is what we said:

S & P 400 GoodÂ?NAZ badÂ?Got it?

NASDAQ IS NOT ITÂ?WHAT IS “IT” IS THE S & P 400 and 600Â?but here are the Nasdaq 100 because I know the cocaine-like addiction you have for these stocks.

THIS IS A MEANINGFUL DIVERGENCE:

. UPDATE July 11, 2002: This index is OVERSOLD. We may dislike itÂ?but there is money to be made here we think and that overrides bias.

UPDATE July 11, 2002: I still hate most of these stocks, but in spite of my general hatred of them, do appear massively oversold. And that we will buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: no change.

UPDATE August 8, 2002: no change. And that has worked in spades. We continue to be bullish on the Nasdaq 100 stocks after 34 months of being negative. Going forward, this index is not the place to be long-term, but it is the place to be short-term and we continue to suggest that this market is “OVERSOLD” as we said on July 11th [our buy point]. See the Nasdaq 100 chart above. Although the index is below the July 11th level, most of the stock that we went positive on performed well and more are likely to do the same, thus the confirmation of the “strong buy” signal for the Nasdaq 100 stocks.

HERE ARE THE STOCKS [Our current comment in bold]

ABGX Abgenix, Inc. $ 23.12 not too badly mangled after 9/11 and actually went to new reaction highs to $ 38Â?but that was it and the stock just double bottomed at the sub $ 22 level. Traders could buy here for a move to $ 30, but this is high risk, moderate reward. But, hey, it’s your money. Spotty revenues, losses-what else is new for a company like this? Abgenix, Inc. develops and intends to commercialize antibody therapeutic products for the treatment of a variety of disease conditions. [So they say]. Little debt. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 19.12 and in line with most stocks in the index. Avoid. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 16.16 NO CHANGE. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 7.45 with the stock down 50% since our last warning and off 63% since our first warning we still see no evidence of a bottomÂ?check with us in mid 2003 on this one. Short term the stock has about 20-25% in the upside on the bounce. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 9.25. The short-term is working out and we see a REDUCTION in speculation. We will go to “buy.”

ADCT ADC Telecommunications, Inc. $ 3.93 not really damaged by 9/11 but the damage was done already. Junky move to nearly six was it and now attempting a bottom. “Attempt” is the operative word. Avoid. ADCT offers network equipment, software & integration services for broadband, multi-service networks that deliver Internet/data, video & voice communications over telephone, cable TV, Internet, broadcast, wireless and enterprise networks. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 3.82 probably some minor bottomÂ?we don’t care. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 3.60 NO CHANGEÂ?we STILL don’t careÂ?we may never care. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 2.05 in the tank to the tune of 45% since our first report which was negative we still are negative although with little obvious debt there is the potential of accumulation and the stock did react well to the recent rally from sub two bucks. We will now rate only neutral/negative and a move to just under $ 3.50 is likely. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 1.63 the only news is cost reductions, cost reductions. Could move a little. Who cares?

ADLAC Adelphia Communications Corporation $ 23 + one could make a case for a triple bottom hereÂ?an initial break of $ 20 post 9/11, another stab at a break in November and a nice run to $ 32 plus only to see us back at current numbers. Event risk and the events are likely negative. Excessive risk. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 20.50 a likely short-term bottom at sub $ 20 in mid Feb and another just here. Traders can look for the mid 20′s. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 7.00 see why we hate this indexÂ?see what we mean by “event risk?’ I’m sure you do. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ GONE = “Hole in a donut.” Do say we didn’t tell you. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 0.00. Holes in a donut tend to stay that way. What they should do with these scum that use corporate monies to massively inflate their lifestyles is to set them free, give them a stipend of $ 100/week and force them to live on itÂ?no welfare, no assets, no gifts, no house, no jobÂ?a hundred bucks a weekÂ?that’s it. I’ll even pay for it.

ADBE Adobe Systems Incorporated $ 35.80. Buy. This is a positive exception in the techs. Nice crash in September and we are still not back to pre-Sept numbers. Therein lies some safety. We like the fact that earnings are still pretty solid in the face of declining revs and their labor content numbers are attractive to our VTARÂ? Â© 1992-2002 analysis. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 38.40 no change-still constructive. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 39.04 and a buyÂ?see how smart your Aunt Edna is? UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 24.75 and a negative change mid report shows the danger in attempting to go with a positive rating in a negative overall group. We will stay the course here and I do believe you will see an attack on the mid 30′s UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 17.41 not enough panic in terms of volume yetÂ?sell rallies.

ALTR Altera Corporation $ 23.45 murdered in the 9-11 hit and has barely recovered. Spotty, spotty performance in a crummy group. It does have cash so we can suggest that the downward spike in September will likely hold and the minor break of $ 20 in December was largely tax-selling idiotic who after their likely purchase at $ 65 in August of 2000, finally thought “now” was the time to panic and sell. Traders could buy, but you are buying knowing that event risk is likely negative. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 21.64 no change but a slight improvement in the VTARÂ? numbers. Still, rather neutral positive only. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 21.47 and upgrade a notch to positive. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 12.83 along with other semis, this had no chance. Use the rally to exit near $ 18. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 11.23 a wonderful exit for sure and we are too close to a break of ten to interest us on the buy side. No change-negative.

AMGN Amgen Inc. $ 57.90. We don’t have to have an opinion on every issue

and AMGN just bores us to death-I would rather watch two fleas mating. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 61.14 no change, still bored to death. UPDATE 4.15.2002: 57.21 market performer if that. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 32.85 off 40% since our comment on 4.15 and increasing risk is now in this stock with a bottom not apparent in the 30′s. Expect a powerful bounce to the May, 2002 level and that takes us to the low 40′s. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 47.14 and we are at the target but we see speculation diminished. Average up.

oral pharmaceuticals using the Company’s proprietary drug delivery technologies. For the 9 months ended 9/30/01, revenues rose 47% to $ 552.4M. Net income applicable to Andrx Group rose 40% to $ 68.6M. Revenues reflect sales of the Company’s distribution of the bioequivalent version of Ventolin. Too newsy for us relative the FDA, but recent crash patterns push us to the attractive side. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 39.10 we are not there yet. We would like to see some follow-through negative volumeÂ?so we will wait until we do. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 37.78 we have double breaks sub $ 40 and that is a 50% off sale from January. That could be enough. Neutral. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 20.47 it was not enough but the selling is becoming quite speculative. From here if we see a break of $ 20, we would buy for a trade. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 21.06 and now more than just a trade, now a “buy.”

APOL Apollo Group, Inc. $ 31.30. We rate as positive. Apollo Group is a provider of higher education programs for working adults. APOL offers its services at 58 campuses and 102 learning centers. For the 3 months ended 11/30/01, revenues rose 29% to $ 228.2M. Net income rose 30% to $ 31.7M. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 51.85 and still very positive. Buy. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 37.36 we really cooking here and we are not even close to a top according to our VTARÂ? work. Average up. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 37.45 3:2 stock split on 4/25/02 all prices adjusted for that split. To find the positive exception in a very negative index is an accomplishment and here it is. Buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 37.85 and we are pressing the top of the trading range and it is very positive indeed. Average up. Here is the recent news:

-June 25, 2002–Apollo Group Inc. today reported financial results for Apollo Education

Group (Nasdaq: APOL – News) and University of Phoenix Online (Nasdaq: UOPX – News) for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 ended May 31, 2002.

AAPL Apple Computer, Inc. $ 24.03. We don’t think you will get rich with this box manufacturer, but we don’t think you will go to the poorhouse either. It is the only box mfr with any real creativity. Earnings came in on target and AAPL is expecting an increase to $ 1.5 bil in revs for the 2nd quarter. Well, a quarter will also get you a hole in a donut. The stock is “OK” but we do not get involved with stocks that are OK. Oklahoma is OK. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 23.50 acting OK, but just OK is still not good enuf. [and that is how we spell "enuf." And that should be enough 4 U]. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 25.06 sneaking up and that is what it is supposed to do. Still positiveÂ?the ONLY box manufacturer we like and if Apple does not like the name box makerÂ?wellÂ?what do you think? UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 17.63 well dude, not only are you not getting a Dell, you are not getting an Apple either. The break of $ 20 was not speculative and only the further break to sub $ 17 slightly less soÂ? have to go with the mid newsletter change to negative but short-term we can expect a move to the $ 22 levelÂ?we will re-evaluate then. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 15.05 no changeÂ?the stock needs a good flushing to go to the buy side and we are not there.

AMAT Applied Materials, Inc. $ 21.53 the stock is back to the pre Sept 11 numbers [almost] but that is about it. Neutral and we don’t like “neutral.” It’s not worth your hard-earned cash. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 25.87 a nice step correction. Now neutral positive and a trading buy on a break of $ 50. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 25.30 you got the break of $ 50 so let’s see where she goes. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 16.67 On 4.16.2002 this stock split. Why is anyone’s guess because it will likely split itself given time? All price adjusted for the 2:1 split. Well, she went down if you want to know where it went and since there is no panic sub $ 20 we are not inclined to hold out much hope for this stock. Still, there has been enuf short-term panic and we can see the stock back to the low 20′s. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 13.52 let’s reverse course here – sell $ 16.

AMCC Applied Micro Circuits Corporation $ 9.80 horror story of horror stories, this stock did manage to rally in Oct and Nov-but here we are sub ten again. Still, sub ten is usually a place to acquire for trades so go ahead if YOU want. We will not. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 7.79 no panic selling yet but some nice beginnings of that panic. Traders could buy the margin selling should the stock crack $ 5. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 7.12 no change but getting closer. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 4.09 there was no panic sub $ 5.00. No change and off over 50% since our first warning but the stock is oversold short term and we can see the stock attempt seven and that is a decent percentage in anyone’s book or anyone’s pamphlet for that matter. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $

ATML Atmel Corporation $ 7.13 another memory chip co in the skidsÂ?it has a base of sorts. So, at current numbers we give it a slight positive ratingÂ?but we have other fish to fry. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 9.92 and a nice move for sure. Traders may now buy the break of nine. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 9.75 and YOU GOT THE BREAK OF NINEÂ?now we are looking for double digits aren’t we? Of course, we are. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 4.72 didn’t happen and that is not unique in NAZ 100 stocks. Neutral and now to see that attack on $ 7.50. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 2.96 probable very weak rally, but we are not buying.

BEAS BEA Systems, Inc. $ 16.25 this is the base and traders may enter here. The key would be to dribble to the $ 22 level and then punchÂ?if it punches right away, get rid of it. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 13.56 real lack of potential. Avoid. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 12.06 ready for a bounce upÂ?let it bounce without you. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 7.66 it “bounced and crashed” and here at nine we do not see the potential. Neutral and a break of $ 8 will likely set up the oversold rally to about ten. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 5.38 we have the break of eight on schedule, but we are not satisfied yetÂ?probably a failing rallyÂ?next potential buy point is a break of five.

BBBY Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. $ 33.72 overpriced stuff we can all do without-gold-plated toilet plungers, refrig magnets, scales so slippery you can kill yourself on, etc. but someone is buying this junk. Revenues are surely there, earnings as well but margins are shrinkingÂ?I mean after three gold-plated toilet plungers per household the price REALLY has to be something to get me to buy the fourth. The real buy was when the market gave us its buy signal on September 20thÂ?then BBBY was sub $ 20Â?but at current numbers it is a yawn. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 32.97 enuf of a base for a move so now neutral positive. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 34.74 and now for an attack on the low 40′s. That is where it is likely goingÂ?but we have bigger fish to fryÂ?or is that we have better bison to biteÂ?well, you get it. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 32.65 to buyÂ?NAZ 100 or not, BBBY looks like a $ 50 number from here. Sell those gold plated toilet plungers we all need. 6.20.02 earnings release: ” reported net earnings of $ 46.3 million ($ .15 per share) in the fiscal first quarter ended June 1, 2002, an increase of approximately 54.3% from the $ 30.0 million ($ .10 per share) earned in the fiscal first quarter of 2001. Net sales for the fiscal first quarter of 2002 were $ 776.8 million, an increase of approximately 34.9% from net sales of $ 575.8 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2001. Comparable store sales of the Bed Bath & Beyond stores in the fiscal first quarter of 2002 grew by approximately 13.2%, compared with an increase of approximately 4.4% in last year’s fiscal first quarter.”

UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 28.50 with institutions selling anything they have that has a profit BBBY took a hit and it is not over yet. Gone.

BGEN Biogen, Inc. $ 53.68 pretty boring, but it has been pretty boring since April Fool’s Day of 2000. We see nothing to change that. Maybe April Fool’s Day 2003Â?. check back. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 49.93 not even close. Negative. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 45.32 no change, still icky. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 30.65 we like the up-move and the immediate retracement and market break crunch to the low 30′s. Buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 35.70 average up as speculation is diminishingÂ?to strong buy.

BGEN Chart courtesy of Clearstation.com

BMET Biomet, Inc. $ 32.37 looks as if it could break out toward $ 40, but somehow we think you should avoid. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 26.52 a very worthwhile “avoid” for sure. Traders could buy another severe break sub $ 25. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 26.16 you got your break of $ 25 and look for the exit door about 29 Â½. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 24.55 well, that worked with a high about $ 30 and we could try it again so we will. Buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 27.65 that worked well tooÂ?average up but sell if volume becomes excessive at $ 30. Man who run behind car get exhausted.

BRCM Broadcom Corporation $ 39.20 there was no real damage to this star performer of the dot. Com blastÂ?but it is stuck in a range with this being near the bottom. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 35.13 it keeps acting like a bottomÂ?but our guess it isn’t. Avoid and look for a break into the twenties and below $ 25. We are not expecting the teens. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 34.15 it did not want to break $ 30Â?well, until it does, we have NO INTEREST. My price or NO price. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 17.65 in May it broke $ 30 and with some conviction and here we are under $ 20 and no panic? But the market laid a big enough egg, so now we can buy for a trade UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 17.37 not much of a trade yet, so let’s exit in favor of others we like better.

BRCD Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. $ 32.63 the benefit of the doubt short-termÂ?than gives us an objective of $ 38 Â½. Not worth it. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 25.73 and it was not worth it. No changeÂ?negative. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 24.65 no change. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 16.45 a panic buy at the sub $ 15 level. We wanted panic and we got it with the crash to sub $ 15. Now? Buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 16.69 no change but not so encouraging either.

CDWC CDW Computer Centers, Inc $ 53.87 stuck in a trading range and it is likely to be resolved to the upsideÂ?but not just yet. Neutral/Positive only. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 48.58 now only neutral. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 49.41 about as neutral as it gets. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 45.91 and neutral it is which for NAZ 100 that is quite the compliment. Now “buy.” UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 45.69 the sidelines pleaseÂ?

CEPH Cephalon, Inc. $ 57.68 a biopharmaceutical company that develops and markets products to treat neurological and sleep disorders, cancer and pain. Revs are there but that was the news for the market to throw it over the side at $ 77Â?now we have a minor rally in placeÂ?only neutral. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 64.36 no change. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 63.50 no change and no interest. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 37.15 and a wonderful stock and again enuf to the downside for us to go to “Buy.” UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 45.63 that is working just duckyÂ?average up looking to the low 50′s shall we? Ever wonder why drugstores

make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front? I haven’t.

CHTR Charter Communications, Inc. $ 11.25 low enuf if you have any feel for the fundamentalsÂ?we don’tÂ?a rally to about 13 Â½. Not 4 us. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 11.99 blah rally. Avoid. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 9.04 but now it is getting interestingÂ?we have a crack of an important number but no panicÂ?OK break five for the panic and buy that panic. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 3.47. The buy of five got you nothing. Neutral. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 2.57 no change.

CHKP Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. $ 33.77 not damaged by 9/11 and the rally took the stock up by 100%Â?not bad. But then the “heart-attack” mode and we are back in the base. If you were nimble, you made moneyÂ?if notÂ?well, you know. Avoid the temptation to trade this name. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 31.60 it looks like a baseÂ?it smells like a base. Is it a base? No. Avoid UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 20.72 selling is excessive but do we really care? UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 12.65 and a base it certainly was not. There was a panic “buy” when the stock hit sub $ 11.00 but we are not looking for panic “buys,” we are looking for panic sells. What a great stock to have hated. But the stock did give up most of the gain, short-term, Buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 16.32 although not diminished speculation according to VTARÂ? it is not excessive either. Average up lightly.

CHIR Chiron Corporation $ 41.19 back in the base, but we still don’t care. There is not enuf of a break to motivate us. I like “enuf.” UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 45.94 no change. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 45.66 neutral positive but not much in it. UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 27.45 is this “enuf?” Maybe, so traders can buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 36.35 and we are cooking for sure. Average up.

CIEN CIENA Corporation $ 9.46 single digit objective reachedÂ?we still don’t want it. CIEN manufactures and sells open architecture, DWDM systems for fiberoptic communications networks, optical networking solutions and access systems Not exactly high demand products at the moment. UPDATE 3.27.02: $ 8.23 no change, but if there was a high volume break of $ 5.00, we would look at it. UPDATE 4.15.2002: $ 7.55 if you put an EKG on this stock what would you think? UPDATE July 11, 2002: $ 4.81panic buyers and short covering below $ 4.00. Buy. UPDATE August 8, 2002: $ 4.10 not exciting, but not a loss either and a nice move to over $ 6.00 in the meantime.

“DJS Cisco Shares Slide as Investors Fret Over Winstar Financing Deal

By Peter Loftus

Dow Jones Newswires

NEW YORK — Cisco Systems Inc. shares fell Wednesday after First Allied

Securities issued a “sell” investment rating on Cisco, saying the networking-equipment giant was too optimistic about future growth rates.

Investors were also concerned about a new vendor financing deal that Cisco signed with telecommunications company Winstar Communications Inc. (WCII), under which Winstar will receive funding to purchase equipment from Cisco.

Shares of Cisco (CSCO) were down $ 4.06, or 7.2%, at $ 52.69 in afternoon trading Wednesday on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Axxel Knutson, a First Allied broker, said he issued the “sell” rating on Cisco because the company was “extraordinarily optimistic” in its outlook after reporting better-than-expected first-quarter results late Monday. Cisco executives said they expect fiscal 2001 revenue to rise 50% to 60% from fiscal 2000 levels, and they analysts to boost earnings estimates.

But Mr. Knutson believes the stock could fall about 50% from current levels in the next six to nine months. Mr. Knutson said Cisco is vulnerable to a slowdown in capital spending by its telecom customers. Moreover, Cisco has some vulnerability across its product lines, he added. “The extent of Cisco’s improvement is going to be measurably disappointing,” Mr. Knutson said.

Cisco officials couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Winstar, a New York-based competitive local exchange carrier, or CLEC,

said Wednesday it secured a total of $ 1.02 billion in financing agreements in the form of equity, vendor financing and the expansion of a credit facility. Cisco is one of several compani

Halloween at Blogcritics.org and Treats for Bloggers All Year Round

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) November 2, 2005

Halloween is a special time at online magazine Blogcritics.org as the “sinister cabal of superior bloggers” brings dozens of Halloween-themed movie, music, book, and TV reviews, spooky stories, and creepy news to more than 50,000 readers daily.

For the third year in a row, Blogcritics.org has collected Halloween treats for readers into a convenient index for your chilling and thrilling pleasure.

Among the Halloween ’05 delights on Blogcritics.org:
Duke de Mondo opens up the Halloween horror vault with a look at Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects

Haunted Halloween hotels get harrowingly highlighted by Eric Olsen

Modern Pea Pod unearths the perfect Halloween mix tape, featuring Gravediggaz and The White Stripes

Ashok K. Banker gets the scoop on the spookiest Halloween of them all

Halloween is also a great time to remind bloggers of the unique features and benefits of being a part of Blogcritics.org.

More than 1,110 bloggers publish articles – the latest news, opinions, and reviews on music, books, film, popular culture, technology, and politics – at Blogcritics.org because of the immense value of membership. Dozens of bloggers become Blogcritics.org each month because they can share their best work from their “home blogs” with Blogcritics.org, giving them exponentially higher visibility than they would receive on their own.

That increased exposure often leads to increased traffic and enhanced search rank for members’ home sites. Further, Blogcritics.org editors work with member bloggers to improve writing skills and reach “the next level,” a service that doesn’t exist at any other online media source of its kind.

But there’s more: increased readership, heightened reputation and editing services are matched with participation in an intensely committed and passionate online community. Blogcritics members have the opportunity to interact with readers and other members – publicly in the open comments area of every post, and privately in the internal writer’s e-mail group.

Other benefits that Blogcritics.org members enjoy include access to a vast array of review materials, including books, CDs, DVDs, film screenings, and concert tickets, as well as story tips and suggestions.

Here are some testimonials from Blogcritics.org members:

“The way Blogcritics is set up meets my goals and objectives. As a writer who maintains a blog that is focused on writing and the publishing and book industry, I find Blogcritics offers an opportunity that can easily be used as a great resource by many writers who are in various stages in their career and their development.” – Vikk Simmons

“I have been with Blogcritics.org for about 15 months and have loved every moment of my involvement. All of the interactions I have had here have been fantastic. There are some great writers and people here who I have come to consider friends.

Besides the great people here, there is the exposure for my writing. I love the thought that people are actually reading my work. I also appreciate the work that all of the editors do. Once in awhile, I am lax in proof reading and I have had pleasant experiences with the editors. I appreciate pointing out errors as it is the only way I can hope to improve my writing. Yes, I do this for “free” but I am repaid in friendship, exposure, and of course the wonderful supply of review material.

I am not sure that I can adequately express how wonderful BC is and how I very much treasure the time that I spend here.” – Chris Beaumont

“I feel the Blogcritics.org experience has been integral to my shaping my writing. I can’t help but think every Blogcritic doesn’t hope, if they are not actually professional yet, that something like this could happen for them. Without the experience I have had writing for Blogcritics.org, I’m not sure I would have been able to hone my game to the point at which I would be offered a paid writing gig. Blogging need not be a dead-end, I’m finding, but if you really work at what you do, it can be a wide-open door.” – Steve Huff, Blogcritic and blogging columnist for Court TV’s Crime Library

“Seven months ago I was looking for a way to practice my writing skills. Something was missing though. No matter how many words I wrote, or how many pages I’d publish, nothing felt right. That’s when I made the decision that I should begin blogging. I needed a place where I could write and learn to develop some emotional detachment from the work. It was during one of those forays into searching for a means to get my name out there that I came across a site which offered links to a variety of places that published blogs in an online magazine format. Thus, was my affiliation with Blogcritics.org born.

In spite of my initial reluctance to understand that proper spelling and grammar could somehow be important to an article, I began to find a comfortable niche within the Blgocritics circle. I knew people were reading my articles because I would receive comments in my inbox on a daily basis.

Thankfully there have been many willing and able teachers and editors at Blogcritics who have taught met how to put my best foot forward when it comes to presenting my thoughts in typeface. By refusing to accept mediocrity on their site, and by assisting those willing to achieve the standards they have set, they have established an atmosphere that inspires both creativity and self-discipline.

The obvious benefit for me has been the noticeable improvement in my critical thinking.” – Gypsyman

Demi Moore at Demimoorefan.com

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:32:14 +0000

Demi Moore at Demimoorefan.com

(PRWEB) August 4, 2006

Demi Moore is an American actress. She became well-known after a string of 1980s teen-oriented movies, and mutated into one of the best-known actresses in 1990s Hollywood. Moore is also known for her marriages to songwriter Freddy Moore and actors Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher.

In the early 1980s, Moore posed for a series of soft-core photographs featuring full frontal nudity. These photos went unnoticed until after she became a star, and were eventually published in a German magazine and later in North America. Moore’s film debut was in the 1982 3-D science fiction/horror film, Parasite, which was a hit on the drive-in circuit, ultimately grossing $ 6 million. However, Moore was not widely known until she played the part of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital, from 1982 to 1983.

Moore spent her General Hospital salaries on parties and drug abuse. Her cocaine habit lasted more than three years until 1985, when director Joel Schumacher fired her from the set of St. Elmo’s Fire when she arrived on the set intoxicated. She received withdrawal treatment and returned clean after a week. (Incidentally, Moore’s character in St. Elmo’s Fire, Jules, was also a cocaine addict.) Moore had to sign a contract stipulating that she would cease her alcohol and drug abuse, an agreement that caused her life to turn around. In the 1980s, she appeared in several youth-oriented films, and was mentioned as being a member of the “Brat Pack”.

For a time during the 1990s, Moore was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. She had a string of box-office successes, including Ghost, A Few Good Men, and Indecent Proposal, and was the first actress to reach the $ 10 million salary mark. Among other films for which Moore was considered were Basic Instinct, Batman & Robin, Flashdance, Runaway Bride, and While You Were Sleeping. Moore’s reputation suffered when the starring vehicles The Scarlet Letter, The Juror, Striptease, and G.I. Jane (a movie in which Moore shaved off all her long hair on camera, leaving her head totally bald) failed at the box office and garnered mixed reviews.

In August 1991, Moore appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine while seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout LaRue, with enormous attendant publicity. The image was endlessly parodied (including by Spy magazine, which placed her then-husband Bruce Willis’s head on her body), but also spawned honest imitators as other pregnant celebrities posed nude. Moore again appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in August 1992, wearing only a body painted “suit”.

After a break from her acting career, Moore returned to the screen as a former member of Charlie’s Angels in the 2003 film Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle.

Demi Moore fans will surely love the website made for her at demimoorefan.com. This site has news, forums, blogs and chat for Demi Moore.

Will Sanderson On His BloodRayne Experience

Will Sanderson On His BloodRayne Experience

Nutley, NJ (PRWEB) December 10, 2005

Sci-Fi Talk host Tony Tellado recently chatted with BloodRayne actor Will Sanderson.

“I play Domastir, who would like to be a vampire but is not one. I am a human doing vampire’s bidding called a Thrall. I am the head of the Thralls. Ben Kingsley, I play his right hand man. There are several instances in the film where I exploit the fact that BloodRayne who is half vampire-half human cannot be exposed to light and such. My training consisted of mostly horseback riding and sword training. Mostly swords. I had kind of a long broad sword that I got to use, a two-hander. With a bit of training I managed to do all of my horseback riding save a few a scenes where I had a double. We were right in Dracula country. You can see that in the castles and the sets that we had. Because you travel with the same group, you get to be part of an extended family. You all have the same goal in mind and hang out with each other after work.“
