Before we get down to business this week, Stockprowler.com would like to issue an apology to readers who were inconvenienced this past week. On Monday the Stockprowler web site was down for most of the morning and part of the afternoon, intermittently, apparently due to an inability on the part of the server to handle the heavy volume of traffic to its web site. Stockprowler has since changed servers. The new server has assured Stockprowler.com of its ability to handle the present and foreseeable volumes of traffic. If anyone out there should experience difficulty, please contact us and let us know. Also, due to the many requests by readers, an expansion of Stockprowler.com is currently in the works... more in the weeks to come...

      Stockprowler.com would like to issue a watch on the following stocks... MTLM (Nasdaq) and MRTI (OTC:BB), both stocks show strong promise for the coming year, and are likely to be profiled in upcoming editions of Stockprowler.com... it should be noted that both stocks are highly speculative. Furthermore, this is a watch advisory only, and that MRTI is not a listed stock... Also a watch is issued on a previous pick of the week, ACRG. ACR Group, Inc.(Nasdaq) is showing sudden signs of accumulation on dramatically increasing volume (for this stock). Regarding ITEC... Stockprowler is still hearing H-P and Xerox rumors and cannot confirm...though Stockprowler has tried...believe us. Regarding the extraordinary movements in ITEC's share price, many Stockprowler readers have asked advice regarding when to sell shares of the stock. Let me state flatly... it is illegal for Stockprowler to give such specific advice to individual investors. Generally, however, as a stock makes a dramatic rise, it is prudent to sell enough shares to get back your original investment... and hold the rest...because they're free! Too many investors get overwhelmed by greed, or whatever emotion, and don't sell any shares... only to see the stock fall back... and sometimes keep falling back. Ok... next, I want to talk about ICOMC. Look at Sycamore Networks and Cerent... Look at what they are trading at! Intellect Communications, Inc. (ICOMC) purportedly has, in their hands, a letter of intent to contract with a multi-national company doing business with 200 countries! ICOMC, this week, inked a $2 million deal in Europe with the eventual potential of $40 million.... this in addition to many small contracts that it has been picking up stateside. Lastly, before we hit this week's pick, I want to talk briefly about DDD. It is Stockprowler's understanding that DDD will be at a trade show in the next couple of weeks to demonstrate its incredible 3D product. Sony, RCA, Panasonic, and others can't help be impressed when they see what this proprietary technology is all about... Remember you saw it here...

      OK...and now the Stockprowler pick of this week is...

      POPM (Nasdaq) - Minneapolis based PopMail.com, Inc. is like many of the stocks we profile here on Stockprowler.com, a roll of the dice... but the odds look very good for this internet stock play... and the price is right. POPM closed up 5/16 Friday at 2 1/4 on 4 times normal volume. Stockprowler might be a little early on this one, but our database/software is suddenly showing signs of patterns of accumulation on heavy volume...looks promising. POPM is a permission or affinity based e-mail marketing company serving the needs of businesses. The company targets four main markets for its services: Broadcast, Media. Sports, and Entertainment. PopMail.com, Inc. appears to have found a niche for itself as advertisers have recognized that banner ads on the Internet are not an extremely effective way to use the medium to reach potential customers. Revenues for the 13 weeks ending October 3, 1999 show an increase of 41 percent over the same quarter last year. POPM has 9.3 million shares outstanding and a float of 4.3 million...

Good trading... Stockprowler
