kis, all true, i was really speaking of the operations themselves, ultimately the businesses have to justify themselves, long after the 'siders ipo and retire !
i believe they will not, i believe the net will see as many failures as bricks and mortar businesses do, maybe more, but its clear dell, gap and established businesses like those will benefit...while schwab has been maligned lately, some discount brokers will benefit, even thru a crash, people will always come back to the casino...
its so, you know, vigorish and all <g>

my concern is that what i see on threads like amzn is that nearly everyone seems to make like they are cleaning up... as i mentioned, if pcln is down by 2/3, who made and who lost, gosh someone lost...
i was mostly kidding about interesting William in the xau...i know it won't happen...what concerns me is that people who are obviously wealthy and successful are telling me that the internet is gonna be something...yes it will, but what , and who will make money off it...not guys like me who bought aol and athm too late in the cycle , and not guys who bought my shares only to see them go lower
