Blue, there was another time or two a Cable Stock Shopping Show caused some ticker confusion with those, remember? It'll be interesting to see if they're doing it again. I sure don't get it... GOTO has twice as many shares outstanding, a bigger market cap, the site isn't anywhere near as good as Go2net, GoTo just posted a smaller loss than expected vs. GNET's posting a bigger profit than expected along with news and being raised to Strong Buy... and GOTO is higher!! Goes to show there's No Telling What or Why...as FonelyEyed plays a violin solo for me on that one too...So maybe it's Ticker Confusion Season again - remember that one last year? Whooooeee. Another Rally Omen - a good way to make a quick buck on less money sometimes when/if they happen around A Big and An OTC especially! Did you see that new ipo this week called Chartered Semiconductor ticker xchrtx - some European ADR's in there so it's not too hard to distinguish it, it hasn't done much but it'll be an interesting one to watch on Charter xCHTRx ipo day nevertheless. It came out at 28 and it's now up to 36. The internet spinoffs BNBN from BKS (Barnes&Noble.com from its parent) and DIR from DLJ (DLJ.com from the parent) have been garbled and mixed up in news reports and on threads, combo of incompetence and deliberation probably as usual...both DIR and BNBN are still lower than they should be because of it IMHO.
Hyar's More 909s THIS IS NOT A DRILL - BONG! BONG! MEDS!! my core BMY (Bristol Meyers Squibb it split earlier this year) is now A $$ DOUBLER she's movin' on up real nice now. PFE Pfizer isn't so fast because it was a 3-for-1, and Merck MRK's almost there at 909 just another week or so....
merger talk news in some big meds today, ought to move 'em.
Feeling better today?
909s,
