indeed, different in every way - that is the beauty of having a portfolio of shares - does not prevent NLR multi-bagging in the same way TTC did. I think the rebel started his TTC thread when they hit something like 17p (hit a Ł1 last year although off again now).

National (litigation) - When he got the subpoena, Pro Football Weekly publisher Hub Arkush didn't know whether to take it seriously. The U.S. Attorney in St. Louis was demanding that the Chicago tabloid turn over its accounting records, e-mails, and phone logs related to ads from online gambling outfits -- ads that sports papers like PFW had run for nearly a decade. What got the attention of Arkush's lawyers was an accompanying letter hinting that he could face felony charges. In September, 2003, Arkush caved: He pulled the ads, took a $2 million revenue hit, and laid off 22% of his staff. …Discovery Communications, Infinity Broadcasting, or Clear Channel Communications (CCU ), all of which yanked ads for online gambling after receiving similar subpoenas and letters. …Now the $7.4 billion online industry, which operates thousands of sites legally outside the U.S., is fighting back against what execs say is a heavy-handed and possibly unconstitutional assault on a free-market enterprise.

On Nov. 10, Antigua won a World Trade Organization ruling that the U.S. violates international trade rules by, among other things, allowing credit cards to be used for domestic gambling but not online wagering. And Britain is set to liberalize online gambling rules and could allow its operators to accept wagers from U.S. customers. …In the near term, the industry's hopes are pinned on the Casino City case. But even if Casino City loses, industry lawyers say other suits are waiting in the wings. …Even with a WTO ruling in its pocket, though, Antigua has the clout of an ant. But Britain could be different. "[It] will be the first First World nation where there's really going to be a test," says Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr…
