WAHNSINN - E-Stamp +100% in 2 Tagen - was ist los? - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[cashcounter]

an der NASDAQ seit Dienstag von 0,94 auf 1,88 US$ ein PLUS von exakt 100 %!!!!!! was ist passiert?

Es kann ja wohl kaum daran liegen, dass ich letzte Woche 1000 Aktien gekauft und vorgestern meinen alten E-stamp thread vom letzten Jahr hier im board reaktiviert habe.

Da ich keine insider-infos habe ist das also reiner Zufall. Aber was ist geschehen?

In letzter Zeit schwankte der Kurs immer zwischen 0,90 und 0,97 US$, nachdem er sich von seinem Tiefststand bei 0,75 erholt hatte.

Übrigens: Wer meint, an der NASDAQ könnte man günstiger grosse Stückzahlen kaufen:

Ich habe dort über PULSIV die Riesenmenge von 1000 Aktien zu 1 US$ geordert!

Die Order wurde gesplittet , 300 zu 300 US$ plus 51,49 EURO Gebühren und 700 zu 700 US$ mit ebenfalls 51,49 EURO Gebühren! TOLLES GESCHÄFT - für die Broker! Und bei der Kursabfrage ist mir mehrfach aufgefallen, das an der NASDAQ nur 100 Stück gehandelt wurden, es hätte mich also noch schlimmer treffen können( theoretisch im Extremfall für 1000 Dollar Aktien und für 514,9 EURO Gebühren).

Dann lieber an einer deutschen Börse - da ist beim jetzigen NASDAQ-Kurs von 1,88 US$ ein Kurs von 2,30 EURO dann evtl. noch günstiger.

E-Stamp forms alliance with NFIB

SAN MATEO, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Shares of E-Stamp Corp. jumped 87 percent Wednesday after the company said it will be the exclusive Internet-postage provider for members of the National Federation of Independent Business.

The alliance gives E-Stamp access to NFIB`s membership base of 600,000 small-business owners through a co-marketing program.



While E-Stamp expects to gain new customers from the NFIB, E-Stamp CEO Robert Ewald declined to disclose the expected value of the arrangement.

The small-business and home-office market for postage is expected to total more than $16 billion by 2003, according to research firm International Data Corp. Ewald said he expects E-Stamp to gain a fair share of that market.

The National Federation of Independent Business is an advocacy organization that represents small and independent businesses in the United States.

As part of the agreement, a small portion of the revenue that San Mateo, Calif.-based E-Stamp gains from the alliance will underwrite some of NFIB`s state and federal legislative programs.

"An organization like NFIB is perfect for us," Ewald told CBS.MarketWatch.com. "They`re just spot on our target market."

E-Stamp is expanding its services beyond Internet postage to include shipping and warehouse management, and Ewald said he would like to expand the alliance with NFIB to include those products as well.

Shares of E-Stamp (ESTM: news, msgs) gained 88 cents to close at $1.88.

Erstaunlich ist ja wieder mal, dass schon Tage vorher Umsätze und Kurse deutlich gestiegen sind.
Letzte Woche waren in Deutschland noch einige Tage ohne das auch nur ein Stück gehandelt wurde(deshalb hab ich meine 1000 an der NASDAQ gekauft, s.o.) und in USA ca. 150.000 am Tag.

Seit Freitag wurden in D plötzlich am mehreren Börsenplätzen einige 1000 gehandelt und am Dienstag ging es an der NASDAQ plötzlich von 0,94 auf in der Spitze 1,12 hoch. Der Schlusskurs lag dann bei 1,00 und gehandelt waren bis 21.00 Uhr( da hab ich zum letzten mal reingeschaut) ca. 550.000 Stück.
Und dann gestern die vorstehende Nachricht und die Kursexplosion - aber es gibt ja keinen Insiderhandel, also ist das reiner Zufall,oder?

[to2300]

Hey Stampler!

Bin am Montag auf den Wert gestoßen. Habe mir ein paar ins Depot gelegt. Welch schöner Zufall!
Gestern kam ja schon die Meldung mit Holland, darauf hatte der Kurs nur mit 10% reagiert, aber dann.
Nach einem ATH vn 44$ und einem Low von 0.75$ dürfte es nach den Meldungen locker bis 5$ erst einmal
gehen.
e-stamp wird ein vervielfacher in meinem Depot!

Hallo zusammen

hier noch die Europa-Meldung von gestern:


E-Stamp Launches First-Ever Trial of Internet Postage in Europe

E-Stamp Delivers Internet Postage to the Netherlands and Further Demonstrates How the Company is Leveraging its Secure Platform to Aid Small Businesses Around the World

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- August 30, 2000 -- E-Stamp Corporation (Nasdaq: ESTM), a leading provider of secure Internet-based transactions, today announced the extension of the company`s Internet postage business into the Netherlands. This expansion marks the first trial of Internet postage in Europe and signifies E-Stamp`s commitment to leveraging its technology across multiple applications and markets worldwide. To cultivate the expansion, E-Stamp and PTT Post will run a trial together in the Netherlands. PTT Post will roll out the trial of E-Stamp`s Internet postage solution to approximately 100 small business customers and 25 private customers this week.

"With the launch of the PTT Post trial, we`re continuing our momentum in leveraging our secure platform across a variety of applications and geographies," said Robert (Bo) Ewald, president and CEO of E-Stamp Corporation. "We`re actively identifying opportunities to license our proprietary technology as well as to bring our solution to new markets through partnerships and joint ventures."

"At PTT Post, we`re firmly committed to being the postal operation leader in efficiency, quality and customer service," said Freddy de Slachmuylder, Vice President of Marketing and Sales of PTT Post. "By working with E-Stamp, we`re able to bring our customers the latest innovation in postal franking technology while streamlining and improving the way in which they process and send their letters and packages."

During the trial, customers will purchase postage online, download it to their secure, micro-vault and print it onto envelopes, labels or documents using a standard laser or inkjet printer. The trial will support both letter mail and packages and will even include address-checking functionality so that customers can ensure that items reach their proper destinations. The trial, which will run for a three-month period, will support all letters and small parcels shipped within the Netherlands.

With its high percentage of Internet users and large population of small businesses, the Netherlands is a prime location to introduce online postage. According to a March 1999 report by the International Data Corporation (IDC), there were 24.9 million small businesses (firms with fewer than 100 employees) in Western Europe at the end of 1998; almost three times the amount of small businesses in the United States (7.4 million in 1998). The report also states that nearly 65% of small businesses in the Netherlands have a personal computer.

As part of its strategic business focus, E-Stamp will continue to identify leading business partners to aid the company`s expansion into key international markets. Earlier this year, the Company successfully implemented a trial of its secure Internet postage solution in Calgary, Alberta with the Canada Post Corporation.

In addition to implementing its online postage technology overseas, E-Stamp has also begun to leverage its core technology across other applications. Earlier this month, E-Stamp announced an Internet airline ticketing trial in Germany with Atraxis AG, a fully owned subsidiary of SairGroup, and LTU International Airways, one of Germany`s largest providers of leisure travel (See release dated 8/17/00).

Online Postage Ships and Handles With Convenience


By CATHARINE HAMM, Times Staff Writer




Wall Street may not think electronic postage is anything to write home about, but for time-crunched consumers, it delivers on their promise of convenience.
That`s the strength of two relatively new Internet postage vendors, Stamps.com and E-Stamp, which allow consumers and businesses to buy postage at their leisure.
Stamps.com and E-Stamp let people use their PCs as postage meters for domestic mail, although each employs a different method of printing that postage. Stamps.com requires an Internet connection; E-Stamp uses a small device that connects to the PC and stores postage and account information. Both allow users, for a fee, to print first-class, Priority, Express and parcel post.
Both systems also offer address correction (a terrific feature for bad typists and for those who--shame on us!--don`t routinely use those extra four digits of the ZIP code). They also interface with various address books and other business software programs on your PC and have good customer support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
After an enthusiastic welcome on Wall Street last year, investors have cooled toward both companies, whose stocks are off more than 85% this year. Does that mean consumers should write off PC postage?
Not necessarily. Like all new technology, these programs have some problems, as my recent experiences found. But having used Stamps.com for a couple of months and E-Stamp for a couple of weeks, I won`t be fighting to stand in post office lines again any time soon.
A document I needed to send to a friend in Ontario, Calif., is a good example of why. I knew I wouldn`t have time to stop by a post office before work, and that it would be closed by the time I got off work.
So I fired up the PC and printer, weighed the envelope on a postal scale (available at most office supplies stores for as little as $8), typed in the delivery address and printed out the exact postage I needed, using a fluorescent Internet postage label. It was just after midnight Friday.
I dropped the envelope in the mail later that morning, and it arrived Saturday afternoon. Fortunately, I didn`t print the postage until after midnight. That`s important because postal regulations require that the piece be mailed on the date that appears on the label. (Adjust accordingly for late-night and weekend printings.)
Still, these programs don`t mean you`ll never face the post office again. If you need insurance through the post office, you can pay for it online, but you have to go to a post office to finalize it. You can save a trip to the post office by buying insurance through Universal Parcel Insurance Coverage on the Internet at http://www.u-pic.com.
Registered mail requires a trip to a post office. And it`s still much easier to slap a stamp on an envelope and scrawl an address than to run it through the printer and hope that the Information Based Indicia, the digitally encoded bar code, comes out correctly.
These two programs are not necessarily aimed at individual consumers, although neither offers bulk mail, an important business tool. Stamps.com, which has 230,000 customers, initially focused on individuals but is broadening its reach to businesses, said John Payne, chief executive of the Santa Monica-based company. E-Stamp, which has 97,000 customers, has been focused on businesses from the outset, said Robert Ewald, president and chief executive of the Mountain View, Calif.,-based company.
That doesn`t mean the services won`t work for individuals. Here`s how they delivered in my recent tests.

Stamps.com
I received a CD-ROM by mail (although I could have downloaded it from the site, http://www.stamp.com) and the installation was as smooth as any software I`ve ever tried. Within an hour, I had chosen a user name and password and applied for a postal license, the latter an easy process that took only a few minutes. The license arrived at my home in a few days. I was in business.
I had some questions in the beginning that I hoped might be answered by the "real time" live tech support people, but I never heard as much as a peep when I asked my questions online. I did, however, always get a reply when I sent an e-mail or called.
Because Stamps.com requires an Internet connection, you are subject to the whims of its site and those of your Internet Service Provider. On at least one occasion, I could not connect with Stamps.com because of a problem with its server, and tech support was unaware of the problem until I called.
On a Sunday afternoon, I was once again thwarted getting on to the site. This time, however, Stamps.com`s tech services told me the problem was with America Online, my ISP. I logged off and logged back on and got right in. An unreliable Internet connection will prove annoying to the impatient consumer, of which I am one.
It`s almost as annoying as a "printer misfeed," a nice way of saying that I fed the address label for a package in upside down. I had just paid $4.20 for postage that was unusable. Both services credit customers for such mistakes. Stamps.com asks for proof, which I provided by mailing in the misprint. But it also cost me 33 cents to mail it, so it`s a disincentive to try to get credit for a problem printing a stamp. (E-Stamp says it does not always require proof, so getting a refund for a 33-cent stamp won`t necessarily cost 33 cents.)

E-Stamp
The E-Stamp installation didn`t go nearly as smoothly as Stamps.com, for a variety of reasons. When I tried to order the $49.99 starter kit online (http://www.estamp.com), it rejected my credit cards. When I asked why by e-mail, the reply, which came quickly, suggested it was just a glitch and that I try again. I did, got right through, ordered the kit and applied for a second postal license. The kit, including an "electronic vault" that stores postage and account information, arrived six days later and included $50 worth of postage, making it essentially free.
As I was completing the installation of the software, I hit a dead end trying to convince the program that I had connected the vault to my computer (a Sager notebook and a Canon BJC1000, a low-end printer).
E-Stamp`s tech support suggested I call Sager and reconfigure my printer port. I did the next morning and tried again to install the vault that night. No luck. The tech support person said he would research it and get back to me. The next night, he left a message on my home phone suggesting I try the vault on another computer.
A colleague tried it on her home computer. She had no luck either. Finally, E-Stamp tech support suggested I return the vault and get my money back.
After a call to E-Stamp identifying myself as a Los Angeles Times reporter, I received another vault, not a refund. (E-Stamp says that less than 10% of its vaults are defective and that tech services should have offered a replacement.) Success. But when I went to print the first envelope, I got only black bars where the addresses should have been.
More time with tech support. This time the technician had me download a Canon printer driver, and this time, it worked just fine. (In all likelihood, my system was to blame for this one, not E-Stamp.) My first envelopes were perfect--after two weeks and a half-dozen phone calls.
E-Stamp uses an address-matching CD that helps verify mailing information, and this worked fine until five days ago when I needed to print postage for a package to be mailed to Honolulu. It said I had an incorrect address and would not let me override it.
I tried the same address on Stamps.com, and it printed just fine, adding only four-digits to the ZIP code. If the package is returned, I`ll know E-Stamp was correct.
On my system, E-Stamp envelopes print slightly faster than Stamps.com (between two and five seconds faster on two tests); E-Stamp`s best time was one minute and 22 seconds for letter-size envelope, and I`m sure it would be faster if I had a better printer.
Because E-Stamp does not require a connection to the Internet when printing stamps, it`s never delayed by a service-provider problem or an issue with its Web site. There`s nothing more aggravating than waiting and waiting, only to be told the connection can`t be achieved.
Nothing, perhaps, except waiting in a slow-moving line at the post office. Despite the technological problems, I`m sticking with electronic postage that lets me be the postmaster of my fate.
