Real is a highly speculative play right now. The rumble is that Real is shopping for a buyer in the wake of Broadcast.com's recent deal. If a deal is made for Real, and if there is a premium for shareholders, then expect to make some money. These 'ifs' are too iffy for my money, but that is how the game is played.

My opinion is that any company paying a premium for the already inflated Real shares is buying a pig in a poke. I jumped on the Real software bandwagon when it first came out. I downloaded, then paid for the CD. At the time I had a pretty decent ISDN connection. Delivery was choppy. Quality was poor. And worse, trying to use their web site was an exercise not unlike that of a maypole dance. I avoid the stuff now. If I see a button on a page with RealNetworks logo, I move on. There's a lot better junk on the web to waste my time on.
