LiPoly: That's good to hear. Basically it comes down to this. It's the 'ol "which would you rather own" adage. Stock in gold mines, or stock in the companies providing the picks, shovels, etc., to said miners.

In this case I'd rather own, in most cases, the providers of the picks and shovels(MCOM, WSTL, et.al.), than the miners/mining companies(ISP's, DOT.com's, etc.). The odds for your investment/speculation succeeding are greater. IMHO, of course. Uhh...and this isn't to say I'm above playing(trading) the momo aspects of market excitement over the miners, whereever appropriate! Heh!

Thanks again!
