How times have changed. Bambi on CBS Marketwatch thinks ASKJ is a "safe haven" internet post war stock.

But when the market unravels -- and it will -- and you have to select stocks that are tangentially tech-related, and walk away for a couple of years, I'd be more compelled to look at Internet names. They're the survivors, like EBay (EBAY: news, chart, profile), Yahoo (YHOO: news, chart, profile), as well as smaller online media names, or search-related companies, like Overture (OVER: news, chart, profile), Looksmart (LOOK: news, chart, profile), and Ask Jeeves (ASKJ: news, chart, profile).
(Look/Jeeves had a good run Monday, so they may come under pressure on Tuesday. But Yahoo could see shares lifted ahead of its analyst meeting scheduled for Feb. 12. Overture is likely to announce another partner deal as early as this week.) |
