I've done a little calculation on the hidden value that the market assigns to CMGI private properties. Based on Zen's table of CMGI public properties (+2.5B$ cash) and CMGI public value, the difference is listed (in awkward format - please help: suggest procedure for graph or other, as you might wish). A maximum of 28.281 B$ is observed on Jan 3, 2000. But for the last 2 months the value has fluctuated between 8 and 14 B$, 12 B$ at both extremes and 8 B$ about 1 month ago. It is somewhat encouraging that this hidden market value does not fluctuate wildly, i.e. it probably is a reasonably meaningful representation of how the market is approaching a discounted value; this in spite of very sizable fractional properties in ENGA and NAVI, whose recent behavior has been vey wild.
The Dec.-Jan. range represents the overboard enthusiasm, at earnings time, NASDAQ boom, etc, etc...
The next big CMGI event should be ALTA IPO. We shall see what the market assign as a value for ALTA and, then, the rest of CMGI properties. I don't have handy the number of shares that ALTA is IPO'ing, or the total to-be outstanding; again, please help on this to draw forward looking conclusions. TIA.
