week's pick is GM&#8217;s Hughes Electronics Corp (GMH).<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes">&nbsp; </span>It is the publicly traded space and wireless communications
unit of automaker General Motors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;
</span>GMH will sell its satellite manufacturing and launch operations to
Boeing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>GMH which derives
about 40% of its sales from its satellite businesses will refocus on
communications services, including its DIRECTV, the largest US satellite TV
broadcaster, with 9 million customers, the 19-satellite network PanAmSat
(81%-owned), and Spaceway, a global network that will offer broadband video and
data on demand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>It also supplies
wireless business networks and other telecommunications equipment.&nbsp; </span></font><font

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
GMH at 124 ½ just bounced off the bottom of its Intermediate Term Up Trend
Channel (ITUTC).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>The top of the
ITUTC is at 157 1/8 and the bottom is at 116.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes">&nbsp; </span>GMH broke out of a CANSLIM type cup formation and set an all
time high of 141 a little over a week ago before pulling back to bounce off the
bottom of its ITUTC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>This looks
like a good entry point to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>The
fundamentals are OK except that the price/sales is on the high side at
16.96.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>The debt/equity is low at
0.16.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>The sales will drop off for
a while with the sale of their satellite manufacturing and launch business, but
when assets are redeployed there should be amble worldwide growth in the
DIRECTV business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>I&#8217;ll open a
position Monday with my initial target just under the top of the ITUTC at 157
and my stop just under the bottom of the ITUTC at 115 3/4</span></font><font

You are correct. The law and the constitution means whatever a judge decides
they means. This was attributed to Oliver Wendell Holmes, a chief judge of
the Supreme Court.

What is an MOJ?

Incidentally, over the years several companies have successfully sued
Microsoft for just this kind of abusive behavior.  There was the Stacker
Electronics case which cost Microsoft $250 megs plus their legal costs. They
probably could have bought Stacker for about $15 to $20 megs.

There is always still this minor Software courtcase going on, eg about a
software
being legaly yours.

Microsoft is always willing to explain how unjustified the US legal system
is in regards to Copyright, TradeMarks, All Rights Reserved etc. when
a MOJ, bunch of State reps or a Judge's ruling is later telling you
differently,
eg to forget about the ownership+rights that come with it :

     "Nice that you are the owner, developer, creator and its originator
       and that you also hold all of the above legal copy/traderights, but
       that you legaly(since this over-ruling) also have no rights at all to
       and do with "underlay" as you seem fit".
Excerpts derived from the forthcoming "Microsoft vs the X US monopolysts
States"
court ruling on their software(Internet Explorer) being rightiously(on users
requests)
and legaly(its their property, so they are free to do whatever they want to
do with it)
integrated into their own(=legit) OS(Win9x) software.

Go figure !!!!!!!

Subject: Question....


Any legal minds here? I have been learning a trading method, and have since
developed an
"Expert Advisor" and MetaStock code to go along with it. My question deals
with sharing this
Code with others... for example here is a statement from there web page:

Any formulae presented are copyrighted. ....          Copyright © 1996,
1997, 1998, 1999 Charles Drummond
"Drummond Geometry", "PL", "P&L", "Point and Line" copyright by Charles
Drummond.  All rights reserved.

 I did learn a method developed by Drummond, but all of my code is my own
work, so my question is:
 What are my limitations in sharing my MetaStock work? I have no intentions
of selling this, nor actively
teaching others how to use it.... but I don't mind sharing the MetaStock
code (If it wont get me into trouble).

 Thanks,
         Adam Hefner
