Let's begin with a few comments about some recent Stockprowler picks. First, last week's top pick, ICOM, closed Friday at 15/16 after moving up 40% this week...terrific!... But, go check out recent IPO, Sycamore Networks (SCMR:Nasdaq), to see where little ICOM might be heading...SCMR closed at $215!!...Compare products and compare valuations...ICOM showed continued strong accumulation this week....also, rumblings of a merger with a mega partner...stay tuned. CXI...big surge in volume and price in the last 15 minutes of trading on Friday...Very heavy accumulation on the Stockprowler software/database...BIG news likely on Monday. Stockprowler is looking for merger news with GEI, specifics on the Army testing contract, and/or an announcement regarding earnings/profitability. Stockprowler reiterates CXI warrants are a good value at under 3/8.    QSRI...Stockprowler called it! The $50 million line of credit is a "done deal". However, the stock price has not reacted...Stockprowler believes the market is waiting to see what happens...i.e., what will QSRI do with the line of credit? They have a bonanza with their recent well... can they repeat their success in the same oil field/or others?...will oil prices hold/or rise this winter?

      And now...the Stockprowler Pick of the Week:

      SBAS (Nasdaq) - StarBase Corp., Santa Ana, California...Stockprowler has been monitoring SBAS since January. Our initial impression was, and still is, that this little company is on the verge of making the really BIG move...despite the pull back over the past few months. StarBase Corp. is a developer of advanced Intranet technical collaboration tools designed for Web-based applications. SBAS develops, markets, and supports software solutions for e-commerce Web site development. StarBase products address the needs of both technical and non technical users. SBAS anticipates revenues for the quarter ending Sept. 30, 1999 between $3.7 - $4.1 million or 125% growth over the same quarter last year. StarBase Corp. has had 10 consecutive quarters of revenue growth...so why the pull back? Stockprowler believes that its OpenAvenue venture was probably premature, and gave stockholders some mixed signals. Also, SBAS projected profitability for this quarter, and it didn't happen... but SBAS is very close to break even. Also, the considerable decline in stock price has caused many stockholders to target SBAS as a tax loss write off. SBAS closed Friday at 1 9/32... Stockprowler beleves this is a great opportunity at these price levels...

Good trading... Stockprowler!
