"No BB..i'm not selling this great stock and company...

they are giving IPO shares to all stock holders..i love that...besides
who the heck wants to pay taxes on that sell!!!"

Not to mention:

1) Portfollio of public securities grew 67% SEQUENTIALLY from $957 mil to $1.6 bil (however, that was as of 4/30/99 and May SUCKED!).

2) They are opening two more venture funds - one with near $1 bil

3) They are starting an operating company to further sell their 40 companies' offerings. This operating company should then be IPO'd in 2000.

4) They are adding about 1 acquisition per month.

5) Their number of investees has over doubled q over q to over 40.

6) CMGI could have sold less than 1% of its' public holdings to make numbers if it so desired.

Anyone using CMGI's operating earnings (since it really isn't an operating co.) is just this side of ignorant.

PS. I like what I heard in the conf. call.

Lastly, look at the author and date of this post! CMGI was $7.58 on that day, adjusted for 8 to 1 worth of splits:

It was written just after CMGI "missed" its' numbers :)
